Little Bow Provincial Park - This is a picture I took after a beautiful day of fishing.i caught my limit and enjoyed this place to the max.2025 - Parks Near Me - Travers Reservoir, Alberta

Great camping and boat launch. Lake is clean with good walleye fishing. Highway access with good roads, nice for young families.

This weekend I had the pleasure of paddle boating on the lake at Little Bow Provincial Park. http://www.swellwomen.com/header/stand-up-paddle-boarding.jpg My friend and I looked at all the lakes that were about 2 hours away from Calgary and found Little Bow to have the best forecast, so headed there. It's a lovely lake in the middle of the prairie about 30k east of Champion, Alberta (take hwy 2 south, turn east on hwy 529 and follow your nose). The lake is quite long and thin and sits nestled in a depression in flat farmland; which gives it an almost badlands feel with soft rolling hills that have broken away into the lake. The beach and campground are both small and treed, but the rest of the lake is surrounded by grasslands. One of the nice things about the lake being in a depression is there was little to no wind on the water. Prairie lakes tend to be warmer than most other lakes and this one was chilly but completely tolerable. You can boat on the lake and I believe there are no restrictions for motor size. There is also fishing and we saw a few kayakers out as well. The water is busy so it makes for silty, mirky water but is perfectly fine to swim in. There is a small concession stand at the beach that is a small-town general store type place with ice cream and snacks. All in all, the lake is close enough to Calgary for a day trip and is a nice sunny, warm spot to do water sports. Very enjoyable lake and I will most likely be back; picnic lunch and all.

We have taken our family camping here for the last 5 years. We go for one full week, every summer in July. We have 3 kids, currently aged 10,10, 12 and stayed in a 20 foot trailer.. The campground has both powered (33 bucks per night) and non-powered sites (26 bucks per night). 6 bucks to dump your trailer if you want. There are several pit toilets that are cleaned every morning at about 8 Am. They stink, which is to be expected. There is 1 main shower house that has 4 regular showers and 1 handicapped shower on the male side and the same on the female side. 1 loonie for 2.5 minutes, and 2 loonies for 5 minute shower. This shower house also has 1 flush toilet on the male side and 2 on the female side.. Firewood is 11 bucks per bundle..This lake is actually a reservoir, so the water levels fluctuate year to year and this affects the amount of sand that is available on the beach. This year, the water level was low, so there was a very large, sandy beach.. If you have a motor boat, the reservoir is massive, so you will be able to find a nice clean area to do whatever you want. We have wake-boarded, tubed, skied etc depending on how calm the water is... Also, good water for fishing and bird watching. Good chance you will see Deer on the shores of the lake too...We keep going back here, because it never gets blue-green algae, and it is a great family atmosphere. We come from Edmonton, so there are certainly closer lakes to go to, but this has proven to be a great camping facility for our family. If there was a few more flush toilets and if the sites were a little more private, I would have given it 5 stars.. read more
