Chain Lakes Reservoir, reservoir in Alberta, Canada
Chain Lakes Reservoir is a water body in Alberta used mainly for recreation and water management, surrounded by open land and trees in a natural setting. The reservoir collects water from nearby lakes and streams to help control water flow in the region and store water during dry periods.
Chain Lakes Reservoir lies at 1,342 metres above sea level in southern Alberta, about 2,900 km west of Ottawa. The surrounding land is a mosaic of farmland and natural vegetation, and the area is nearly uninhabited, with fewer than two people per square kilometre.
The site has over 90 camping spots with unserviced and powered options, a boat launch, and basic facilities like toilets and water pumps. From spring to fall the area is open and it is wise to check weather beforehand and bring your own supplies, especially in this remote location.
