Sheep River Provincial Park, Provincial park in Kananaskis Improvement District, Canada
The park spans 60.2 square kilometers along the Sheep River valley, featuring mountain ranges, forests, and diverse landscapes within Alberta's natural environment.
The land was designated as a protected area in 2001, following centuries of Indigenous peoples inhabiting the region before European settlement in Alberta.
The Sheep River Wildlife Sanctuary within the park maintains permanent habitats for bighorn sheep, elk, and deer populations in their natural environment.
The park requires a Kananaskis Conservation Pass for parking and offers four campgrounds, including Sandy McNabb and Bluerock, with sewage disposal facilities.
During winter, visitors can access 37 kilometers of groomed cross-country skiing trails and participate in ice skating activities at Sandy McNabb Campground.
