Sheep River Provincial Park

Sheep River Provincial Park in Alberta lies west of Diamond Valley along Highway 546 and forms part of Kananaskis Country on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Covering part of the Sheep River valley and extending into the Foothills Natural Region, it protects a varied landscape that supports permanent bighorn sheep habitat as well as summer range for elk and deer. The park is also a major recreation area centered on the river valley and its trails, with campgrounds, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and ice skating. Its significance rests in combining wildlife protection with broad public use.
