Waiparous Creek Provincial Recreation Area

Waiparous Creek Provincial Recreation Area, in Alberta’s West Country near Cochrane, offers rustic creekside camping with easy access to nearby OHV trails. This foothills campground sits along Waiparous Creek, about 13 km west of Cochrane on Highway 1A and 36 km north on Highway 40, giving campers a quiet base close to the mountains. Visitors can spend the day fishing in the creek or exploring local hiking routes, then relax back at camp to the sound of flowing water and forest wind. Registered campers may off-load and ride directly from their campsites to designated OHV trails, making it convenient to head out for a day of off-road adventure without needing to trailer machines elsewhere.
