Pierre Greys Lakes Provincial Park is a scenic destination nestled in Alberta's Rocky Mountain foothills, located 120 km north of Hinton. This beautiful recreation area features a stunning chain of five interconnected lakes surrounded by forested terrain, offering year-round outdoor adventures.
The park excels for anglers, with Desjarlais Lake stocked with rainbow trout and Moberly Lake stocked with brook trout. Water enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and boating with electric motors only, with dedicated boat launches available at Desjarlais and Norris lakes. Campgrounds throughout the park—Joachim, Moberly, and Wanyandie loops—provide water hookups, toilets, firewood, picnic tables, and grills for comfortable stays. A general store on-site supplies groceries and essentials.
Beyond water activities, the park welcomes hikers, mountain bikers, and wildlife viewers on its front-country trails. Winter transforms the landscape into a cross-country skiing destination with 15 km of groomed trails and 9 km of ungroomed paths, complemented by snowshoeing and fat biking opportunities. History buffs can explore the region's Métis heritage through stories of Pierre Gris (Grey), a Métis who ran a successful trading post in the 1880s-90s. The park's natural beauty and diverse recreational offerings make it an ideal central Alberta getaway for families, fishing enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers year-round.
