Medicine Lake Provincial Recreation Area is situated 64 km (40 miles) to the north of Alberta’s Rocky Mountain House. A property that is heavily wooded, this recreational area and campground is extremely rural, providing families with the opportunity to enjoy rustic camping in the heart of the Canadian prairies. The lush forest consists primarily of aspen and spruce tree growth and is a haven for many different varieties of plant and animal life.
The waters at Medicine Lake are ideal for a number of different activities including swimming, boating, and fishing. The shores of the lake are comprised of sand and are the perfect place to work on a summer suntan, to peruse the beach for treasures, or to simply relax and catch up on a good book. An excellent fishing locale, Medicine Lake’s waters are full of such species of fish as northern pike, white sucker, and yellow perch.
