This work will only take place on park property, including:
Visitors may observe heavy equipment operating within the park. There will be increased noise levels during this work, and temporary closures of certain areas may be necessary for safety. We appreciate your patience and understanding as these essential projects are completed.
Chain Lakes Provincial Park is located in a region that is often extremely dry. For this reason, only communal fire pits are provided in the park's campground. Communal fire pits may be used only during appropriate weather conditions (firewood is supplied at no extra cost).
Propane fire pits are not permitted.
Propane and gas cooking equipment is permitted, and charcoal briquette barbeques are allowed when there are no fire bans in place.

Boat Launch Day Use Area
At lower reservoir levels, the boat launch will not be accessible, and only hand launching smaller boats is possible. Please check https://rivers.alberta.ca/ and find Chain Lakes Reservoir for daily reservoir fill data. If the reservoir is at 93%, it becomes difficult to launch larger boats (4x4 is required). If the reservoir is less than 92%, smaller boats or hand launching is possible.

Government of Alberta regulations require that water from pumps/taps like the one located here NOT be used for drinking, cooking or washing (including brushing teeth and washing dishes).
Water from the pump/tap onsite can only be used for purposes like putting out a campfire.
