A central location with great views of Abraham Lake and close access to some of the best adventures in the region.

This spot has some amazing views of Mount Michener, Abraham Mountain and Elliot’s Peak. It’s location near Cline River makes it a great base to head out on a flight with Rockies Heli Canada, a horseback ride with McKenzie’s Trails West or to join us on one of our tours.

It’s also close by to popular trails like Vision Quest, Coral Creek Canyon and Whitegoat Falls.

This has long been a popular camping spot along the shores of Abraham Lake. Over the past few years the provincial government turned it into an official camping area with access roads and toilets. It is included in the public lands camping pass, allowing you to stay for up to 14 days at a time for $30 per adult per year.

Please note that motorized vehicles are not allowed below the high water mark or on the lake bottom from April 30 to December 1.
