Spray Valley Provincial Park

Spray Valley Provincial Park is a protected area in western Alberta along the Spray River, east of the Rocky Mountains, within Kananaskis Country and beside Banff National Park. Centered on the mountain landscape around Spray Valley, including Mount Shark and Mount Sparrowhawk, it was briefly considered for alpine skiing during Calgary’s successful bid for the 1988 Winter Olympics before those events were moved to Nakiska. The park is now chiefly valued for low-impact recreation such as hiking, cross-country skiing, paddling, fishing, and seasonal camping. A management plan approved in April 2006 limited further development and restricted several activities to protect ecological integrity.
