Stony Mountain Wildland Provincial Park

Stony Mountain Wildland Provincial Park is a remote protected area in northern Alberta, south of Fort McMurray, established in 2000 and covering 13,974 hectares within the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan. In Alberta’s Lower Boreal Highlands, it helps preserve both patterned and non-patterned fens. The surrounding area near Maqua Lake supports six provincially rare plant species, and the park lies within the range of the East Side Athabasca River boreal woodland caribou herd. With no developed facilities and difficult access by forestry road and trail, the park is used mainly for backcountry recreation, wildlife viewing, camping, permitted hunting, and authorized aircraft landings.
