Jarvis Bay Provincial Park

Jarvis Bay Provincial Park occupies a wooded stretch of Sylvan Lake’s eastern shore in central Alberta and was established in 1965 to provide campground facilities that nearby Sylvan Lake Provincial Park lacked. Developed through the late 1960s and early 1970s, it became a well-equipped camping and day-use park with nearly 200 campsites, group areas, picnic shelters, washrooms, showers, a store, playgrounds, and an amphitheatre. Because its shoreline is a steep cliff, it offers no beach or direct lake access within the park itself. The park is also valued for its parkland habitat, birdlife, wildlife, and trails, and it was significantly upgraded in 2017–2018 to better serve modern campers.
