Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Nature reserve in Kananaskis Improvement District, Canada.
The provincial park extends across 304 square kilometers of mountain terrain, encompassing the Kananaskis Lakes and diverse landscapes in Alberta.
The area changed designation from Rocky Mountains National Park to provincial jurisdiction in 1911, receiving its current name in 1986 to honor former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed.
Indigenous peoples, including the Stoney-Nakoda, Kootenai, Siksika, Kainai, Peigan, and Tsuut'ina, maintained deep connections with this land before European settlement.
Visitors must obtain a Kananaskis Conservation Pass to access the park, which features seven automobile-accessible campgrounds with 546 sites and six backcountry areas.
The park provides habitat for numerous large mammals, including grizzly bears, Rocky Mountain wolves, lynx, moose, and mountain goats throughout its protected territory.
