Poacher's Landing Provincial Recreation Area

Poacher's Landing Provincial Recreation Area in Athabasca County offers year-round camping and trail adventures for an easy escape into Alberta’s wild side. In summer, visitors can camp beside the river, cast a line, launch a boat or explore forested trails on foot, horseback or by all-terrain vehicle. The recreation area connects directly to La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park, opening up even more remote terrain for day trips and longer excursions. Registered campers have access to a small equestrian staging area with hitching rails and a corral for overnight horse stays, making it a convenient base for multi-day rides. When the snow falls, the landscape shifts into a quiet playground for dog sledding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, offering a different way to experience the same wild country.
