Jackfish Lake Provincial Recreational Area is situated in Parkland County, Alberta and offers just a few campsites for a private camping experience amid dense woodlands and open marshy grasslands situated closer to the lake.

This small and generally quiet Recreational Area offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to partake in many activities including boating, hiking, and fishing. Jackfish Lake is aptly named as it has a thriving population of Northern Pike that is referred to locally as Jackfish. The lake itself is more than a kilometer long and has a maximum width of 400 meters.
The lake waters are ideal for boating, kayaking, and canoeing, while the surrounding woodland landscape makes for some amazing hiking experiences. Plenty of wildlife and diverse flora can be spotted while camping here.
