Alberta Parks inside Bow Valley Provincial Parkwhat to expect
Bow Valley Provincial Park was established in 1959 in the arch of the Bow River at its confluence with the Kananaskis River. The park is one of many within the Kananaskis Country parks system. Visitors can enjoy beautiful trails for hiking, biking, bird watching and wildlife viewing. Spread along the river in the stunning Bow Valley are five reservable campgrounds, one first come, first served campground, and five group camping areas in the park that offer a range of basic to full service sites with many amenities and activities to enjoy.
