Where: Kinky Lake Campground , Wildhorse Lake Campground , Wildhorse Lake Day Use , Wildhorse Lake Provincial Recreation Area , Boat Launch

Details:

The lake level in Wildhorse Lake is low. As a result, the floating dock is anchored in very shallow water and the ground is muddy. Please exercise caution while launching boats.

Updated: August 13, 2026 

Wildhorse Lake Provincial Recreation Area is located about 25 km southwest of Hinton off Hwy 16. Enjoy scenic mountain views while fishing for trout at the two small mountain lakes in a non-motorized or electric-powered boat. This is a wonderful location for hiking, camping, kayaking, and paddleboarding. There are two campgrounds offering a mix of car accessible sites and walk-in tenting sites.

25 km southwest of Hinton off Hwy. 16; approximately 310 km from Edmonton & 510 km from Calgary

Shoreline restoration: Driving vehicles and lighting fires on the shoreline is not permitted.

Wildhorse Lake provides a hand launch for boating.
