Notes
- Vehicles parked in Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley require a Kananaskis Conservation Pass.
Store all food and scented items in a hard-sided vehicle or storage locker if provided. Leaving scented items unattended, even for a few minutes, puts visitors and wildlife at risk..

The PRA includes the Highwood River Day Use Area for fishing and picnicking, and the Highwood Group Camping Area, which can be reserved by groups for overnight camping.
For more information, visit Park Webpage.
Reservations must be made 1 Day(s) ahead of arrival and can be made up to 180 Day(s) in advance.
