Visitors can enjoy fishing, bird watching, wildlife viewing, and cross-country skiing.
From the Willmore Staging Area, park and hike 30 minutes to the viewpoint. You will be treated to a breathtaking view of Rock Lake and the surrounding Rocky Mountains.
Rock Lake is a popular fishery primarily for mountain whitefish and lake trout, although bull trout, rainbow trout, burbot and northern pike can be found here. Motor boats are permitted, but water skiing or towing are not permitted.
Hunting is not permitted in the provincial park, but is permitted in the adjacent wildland parks. Firearms transported within Rock Lake Provincial Park must be unloaded and encased.
Visitors should use caution in the spring while elk are calving throughout the campgrounds and day use areas. Cow elk can be protective of their young, and the calving also attracts bears.
Rock Lake is in a spectacular setting, providing stunning views of the Front Ranges of the Rocky
Rock Lake Provincial Park is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. This popular staging area provides easy access to equestrian, mountain biking & hiking trails in the Rock Lake-Solomon Creek Wildland, Willmore Wilderness Park and northern Jasper National Park.
The park is located 70 kilometres north of Hinton along Highway 40. A 32 km graveled road leaves the highway and winds along a route used by petroleum and forest industries. Use caution when traveling this road and be aware that the road is not regularly maintained.
In the park you will find campsites with fire pits and picnic tables. There is a picnic shelter, water and firewood. Other facilities include the boat launch, fish cleaning stations, horse loading ramp, equestrian campsites and horse corrals.
Hiking and mountain biking opportunities are available right in the park, if you aren’t planning to go deeper into the wildland or wilderness parks.
Mountains. Lodgepole pine and spruce are mixed with aspen stands, open grassy meadows and wetlands. This diverse range of habitats supports equally diverse wildlife populations. The park is home to moose, grizzly and black bear, cougar, wolf and a variety of birds. It also provides critical winter range for elk, deer and bighorn sheep.
