Ram Falls Provincial Park, Provincial park and nature reserve in Clearwater County, Alberta.
Ram Falls Provincial Park lies in the Canadian Rockies foothills along the Ram River valley, 64 km south of Nordegg and 95 km west of Rocky Mountain House on Highway 734. The park covers steep river banks with small lakes divided by waterfalls at an elevation of 1,570 m.
The area became an official provincial park in 1996 under Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation management. The location has served as a natural landmark within the region for generations before its formal designation.
Birders come here for golden eagles, bald eagles, merlins, American kestrels and American dippers, while anglers fish the Ram River for bull trout, westslope cutthroat trout and mountain whitefish. Horses are allowed on the park trails but not in the recreation area.
Visitors should bring their own drinking water and firewood since these supplies are not available in the park. Planning ahead for self-sufficiency is important for a comfortable visit to this remote location.
