About this site

Source

Elk Lakes Provincial Park sits in the western ranges of the southern Rockies: sub-alpine country of remnant glaciers, rugged peaks and productive lakes. It is wilderness that stays reachable, with maintained trails that suit families who have some backcountry hiking under their belts.

The listing carries about 122 sites, a mix of reservable and first come, first served, with paved access and the standard kit of pit toilets, potable water and fire pits. Fishing, swimming, biking and a boat launch fill the front-of-house days; Abruzzi Lake sits about 4 km out.

This is genuinely remote: Elkford, the nearest listed town and fuel, is about 52 km away. Arrive full on everything.
