40 Mile Park

40 Mile Park is a family orientated recreation area on 40 Mile Reservoir. The 11 km long water body was constructed for storage of irrigation water in Southern Alberta by the St. Mary’s River Irrigation District. This provided an excellent opportunity to build a Park and install a boat launch providing a popular hotspot for camping, fishing, and other boating activities in a clean deep body of water. Come and enjoy fishing, boating, and camping along a 7 mile long reservoir. 

Please visit www.40milepark.ca for more information.
