What a season! Alberta Parks emerged as a top spot for getaways, drawing visitors from near and far looking to dive into new and memorable outdoor adventures. 

This year, millions of people made their way to Alberta’s 305 parks, hitting the trails, paddling on lakes, soaking in the wilderness and taking part in all sorts of outdoor activities. More than 280,000 summer camping reservations were made this year. This represents a seven per cent increase in reservable camping over last year, reaching the highest level since 2021.

“It’s been a fantastic year for Alberta Parks, and the numbers make it clear that demand for outdoor experiences continues to grow in our province. From families enjoying weekend getaways to seniors using our new discount program, we know how important it is for Albertans to have high-quality outdoor experiences. Alberta’s government continues to meet the needs of Albertans as they explore our beautiful natural heritage and wilderness.”

Todd Loewen, Minister of Forestry and Parks
