Serviced Camping OpportunitiesVisitors to Kananaskis Country are strongly encouraged to use the amenities and facilities provided by Alberta Environment and Parks in Provincial Recreation Areas (PRA) and Provincial Parks.

These areas have been engineered to reduce the risk of environmental impact to fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, soil and water that is caused by intensive use.

Do not remove firewood from Provincial Recreation Areas.

As a user of the PLUZ, it is your responsibility to ensure you are adequately informed of closures, appropriate usages and rules.

Visitors who do not follow the rules may be fined or charged under the provincial legislation.

Avalanche InformationPLUZs are not controlled for avalanches, be prepared to properly manage avalanche-related risk when travel-ling through this area. For more information on avalanche safety and to check avalanche hazards and terrain ratings visit www.avalanche.ca.

Avoiding Wildlife ConflictsPLUZs are home for many animals, including grizzly and black bears, cougars, coyotes and wolves. Please take precautions to reduce the likelihood of a dangerous wildlife encounter.

• Set up camp sites in open areas away from game trails, berry bushes, clover patches, streams and lakeshores.

• Constantly make noise to warn wildlife of your approach.

• Keep your dog on a leash at all times. Unleashed dogs may provoke an unwanted encounter.

• Carry bear spray and know how to use it.

• Use odor-proof containers to store anything that may attract a bear, including toiletries and pet food and never take these items into your sleeping area.

• Store food and other scented items in your vehicle or high in a tree, at least 100 m (330 ft.) from your camp.

• Cook food and dispose of dishwater at least 100 m (330 ft.) from your sleeping area.

• Never partially burn or bury food scraps.

• Pack out all garbage in sealed bags.

• Never feed, approach or disturb bears or wildlife.

• Stay in groups. Keep children close.

• Look for signs of recent wildlife activity including scat, prints, tree markings and wildlife carcasses. If there are signs of recent wildlife activity, leave the area immediately.

Always be aware of your surroundings and keep a respectful distance from wildlife. For more information on wildlife safety visit http://aep.alberta.ca

Equestrian Use On Public Land• Do not tie horses to trees.

• All sites must be cleaned of manure and excess feed before leaving.

• All remaining feed must be disposed of at home. Do not leave any feed behind.

• Use weed-free feed and hay.

• Avoid grazing wherever possible.

• When accessing water, use hard ground surfaces and avoid soft ground conditions to prevent bank erosion.

Kananaskis Country is a 4200 km2 areadesignated as parks or public land and managed for multi-use. There are four Public Land Use Zones in Kananaskis Country: McLean Creek Off-Highway Vehicle PLUZ, Sibbald Snow Vehicle and Cataract Snow Vehicle PLUZs, and the Kananaskis Country PLUZ.

Public Land Use Zones are managed to protect the environment while allowing responsible and sustainable use of the land. In addition to recreation, this multiple use area includes forestry, agriculture, and oil and gas activities. Regulations within a PLUZ determine where recreational activities can occur and under what conditions. It is your responsibility to become familiar with activities allowed in this area before you visit. Please refer to the map and charts in this pamphlet for further details.

Of Special Interest

Flood RehabilitationAlberta Environment and Parks is leading the restoration of backcountry trails on public lands impacted by the 2013 flood. For your safety and the safety of trail workers, please be aware of construction projects on trails and avoid temporary closure areas. For updated information on flood rehabilitation projects, closures and reroutes please visit the Backcountry Trails Flood Rehabilitation website at: backcountryflood.alberta.ca

Firearm Use Restriction

Firearm use restrictions are in effect for McLean and Kananaskis Country PLUZs except for authorized hunting purposes. See maps for location.

Westslope Cutthroat TroutAlberta’s westslope cutthroat is listed as threatened under the provincial Wildlife Act and the federal Species at Risk Act. Numbers are declining from degradation or destruction of habitats, caused in large part by human activities, hybridization with non-native trout species, or overharvest by angling. You have a vital role to play in the recovery of this species! Some rivers and stream in the Kananaskis Country PLUZ are critical habitat for the Westslope cutthroat trout. While visiting the Kananaskis Country PLUZ, please keep your “wheels out of the water” to reduce impacts to water quality and the spawning habitat vital to the recovery of this species.

Wheels out of Water• Stay on the trail to avoid water bodies,

wetlands and shorelines.

• Wheeled or tracked vehicles are not allowed on beds or shores of watercourses, wetlands or waterbodies.

• Use designated crossings. Crossing the stream anywhere other than a bridge or designated ford is considered off the designated trail.

• Do not wash your vehicle in a watercourse, wetland or waterbody.

• Stay on the designated trail• Take your garbage home• Respect other users of the area

Volunteer Efforts In The Public Land Use ZonesVolunteers play an important role in maintaining and enhancing the designated trail system in Kananaskis Country. Their work helps improve water quality and protect fisheries resources and riparian zones.

Volunteers routinely perform maintenance on existing bridges and trails, as well as carry out bioengineering projects such as planting willows to stabilize stream banks. The efforts of these dedicated individuals provide recreational opportunities for users of the area, while protecting the area’s natural resources for current and future generations.
