Information: 403-562-3210

Located in south-west Alberta, between the Livingstone Range of the Rocky Mountain Front, the Oldman River and Highway 22, this protected area surrounds one of Alberta’s unique ecological areas known as “The Whaleback”. Together, Bob Creek Wildland Provincial Park and Black Creek Heritage Rangeland protect the largest intact tract of montane landscape in Alberta that supports elk herds, grizzly bears and wolves, while also maintaining historic uses of the land.

As a result of the geography combined with the unique weather patterns of south-west Alberta, the landscape is characterized by rolling fescue grasslands, steep grass and forested ridges with may springs and small creeks along the valley bottoms.

50 km north of Crowsnest (between Hwy. 22 & the Forestry Trunk Road)
