Red Lodge Provincial Park, Provincial park in Red Deer County, Canada.

Red Lodge Provincial Park sits along the Little Red Deer River in central Alberta and features mature forest areas alongside multiple camping facilities. The site spreads across terrain with natural features and adequate space for various outdoor activities.

The park is named after a large red log house built in the style of an English manor for Thomas Critchley in the late 1890s. Disappointed by the lack of similar elegant houses nearby, Critchley returned to England in 1898. Settlers began using the area as a picnic ground in the early 20th century, and locals formed the Bowden Park Board, which had 30 hectares reserved in 1933 as Little Red Deer Park. Alberta Parks reserved the land in 1949 and opened it to the public that September before 1,500 people; it was formally established in 1951.

The park's name comes from a large red log house built in the style of an English manor for Thomas Critchley in the late 1890s. Critchley, disappointed by the lack of similar elegant houses nearby, left for England in 1898. From the early 20th century settlers used the area as a picnic ground, and in the 1920s the Bowden Park Board built a sports field there.

The park lies on the north side of Alberta Highway 587, about 14 km west of Bowden, with the Little Red Deer River running through it. The campground has 106 sites that fit RVs, plus powered sites and a group use area. Showers, flush toilets, freshwater taps and a sewage disposal facility are on site, and a park store sells camping items and ice cream. Because the river floods often, the park has been evacuated and closed several times.

The park's name comes from a large red log house built in the style of an English manor for Thomas Critchley in the late 1890s. Disappointed by the lack of similar elegant houses nearby, Critchley returned to England in 1898. The building no longer stands in the park.
