Ancient glaciers, high mountain peaks, thick forests and raging rivers define these 4,597 square kms of untamed wilderness. Backpackers and horseback riders seeking a true backcountry experience can explore over 750 km of trails where wildlife abounds. Visitors to Willmore must be experienced and well-equipped for backcountry adventure.
Willmore is located southwest of the town of Grande Cache in west-central Alberta, approximately 300 km northwest of Edmonton. It is bordered on the west by the Province of British Columbia and on the south by Jasper National Park. The north end of the park joins with Kakwa Wildland Provincial Park in Alberta and Kakwa Provincial Park in BC. These three parks form Kakwa–Willmore Interprovincial Park.
There are three main access points into Willmore: Rock Lake Provincial Park, Sulphur Gates Provincial Recreation Area and Big Berland Provincial Recreation Area. Rock Lake and Sulphur Gates are equipped with equestrian facilities.
