SWAN LAKE
ALBERTA, CANADA
Welcome to Swan Lake Recreation Area located in the MD of Greenview.
There are a number of walk-in sites that are well sheltered by trees. They have picnic tables and firepits and are located next to the lake.
To get to Swan Lake Recreation Area, the 16km southeast of Ridgevalley is a fair/good gravel road. The few campsites that are present at this park are very rustic and offer no services. There is a washroom near the fish cleaning stand, and some wood is available. This recreation area lacks a beach area and playground but does give the serious fisherman the essentials to have a good day.
SWAN LAKE RECREATION AREA
Swan Lake Recreation Area is located 16 km southwest of Hamlet of Ridgevalley ( Ridgevalley is 72 km east of Grande Prairie, Alberta along Highway 43.)
Swan Lake Recreation Area was officially named in 1952 and was believed to have been named after the Swans that were present at the lake. The lake is aerated each winter to ensure that anglers can enjoy good quality fishing year round.
There are only a few campsites available at Swan Lake Recreation Area that have a picnic table and firepit located just off the day-use parking area. A short distance north of the day-use area is another road that leads close to the lake and has some areas for camping (no picnic tables or firepits)
A steep road to the lake gives access to launching your boat.
To keep down the noise and preserve the natural habitat of the lake area, electric motors are only to be used on this lake.
Good fishing is available at Swan Lake with rainbow trout being stocked annually. A fish cleaning stand is nearby.
Many birds in the area can be spotted on the lake including the Common Loon.
