    Effective Date: October 27, 2025 - Until Further Notice

    Where: Island View Day Use , North Fork Campground , Oldman Dam PRA , Windy Point Campground , North Fork Boat Launches

    Details: Low water levels are being experienced all around the Oldman Reservoir. This is impacting the ability to launch boats. Water levels are below the boat launch pads in many locations making it not suitable to launch or load boats.   

Island View Day Use is in Oldman Dam Provincial Recreation Area, 10 km northwest of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 3 and 9 km northeast on Hwy. 510. A boat launch and pier make it a good choice for visitors wanting easy access to the water. This is a popular spot for all kinds of water sports. Constant breezes make it an ideal place for sailing and wind surfing.
