The Milk River diversion repair was completed ahead of schedule and regular flow rates have been restored. River recreators are advised to use caution in early July as debris and old organic matter flushes through. Please note the river diversion will be shut off again August 15 for additional repairs.
For more information, please visit: Montana Area Office (usbr.gov)
The water of the Milk River is sampled at the beach at Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park and tested by Alberta Health Services weekly. Our most recent test has produced fecal indicator bacteria levels that exceed the recommended limits.
Contact with these waters may cause illness, thus it is not recommended for swimming at this time.
For more information on the monitoring of the beach, please contact Alberta Health Services at 811.
NEW for 2025:
The Hoodoo Hut Convenience Store, located in the campground, will operate as a self-service center in July, August and September. It will provide basic supplies such as beverages and snacks. Check-ins for regular campsites will not be required; campers will print their permits at home and proceed directly to their site after 4:00pm the day of their arrival. Staff will patrol the campground and confirm reservations. For support related to walk-up registrations, comfort cabin check-ins and paying for additional units for group use, please proceed to the Visitor Center [hours].
