Bluerock Wildland Provincial Park was established in 2001 and named for the Bluerock Creek which flows from Bluerock Mountain, which itself is named after the blue-grey, shale-rich rock formations that form the mountain.
There are eight named mountains in Bluerock Wildland Provincial Park. The highest and most prominent mountain is Bluerock Mountain at 2,729 m (8,986 feet). Western reaches of the park become more rugged with jagged peaks, lodgepole pine and spruce trees. The eastern stretches of the park are characterized by the more gradual rolling hills, forests, and open meadow. The park is home to elk, moose, deer, black bear, grizzly bear, bighorn sheep, cougars, and various fish species.
The park is located 15 km west of Turner Valley along Hwy 546 and is surrounded by Sheep River Provincial Park, Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park, and the Don Getty Wildland Provincial Park.
