Beaver Mines Boat Launch offers ample parking, sunny picnic tables with fire pits, a boat launch, accessible outhouses, and a cozy winter warming hut. Just steps from the parking area, visitors can enjoy impressive lakeshore views and easy access to the water.

The boat launch accommodates one vehicle at a time, and the floating dock is a great place to launch from, cast a line, or watch for birds. Lakeshore trails extend from the area, providing a scenic route for wildlife viewing and quiet walks along the water.

    Castle Tree Cutting Permits are issued by Alberta Forestry and Parks staff, Mon - Fri from 8:15 to 4:30. (offices are closed from 12 to 1 p.m.). Tree cutting is not permitted within the Syncline Trail Network or within 100 meters of a waterbody anywhere in Castle Provincial Park.
