Select roads, campgrounds, day-use areas, trails, and areas of Kananaskis Country will be temporarily closed before, during, and after the 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit in June. Check for closures before you go.

A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

Three reservable campgrounds and two group camping areas, plus three first-come, first-served campgrounds in this park offer varying levels of services and facilities. Tenters will find some walk-in tenting at Boulton Campground in addition to the entire campground at Mt Sarrail (First-Come, First-Served). RV users will find sites with Power/Water or Power/Water/Sewer hookups at Boulton Creek and Elkwood campgrounds.

The Kananaskis Lakes and surrounding mountains offer abundant recreational opportunities with many hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails. With Interpretive Programming and an amazing Discovery Centre, this park is not to be missed.
