This Alberta park has a beautiful waterfall & crystal clear river where you swim in the summer

Wild Rose Country is a province with perks. From bustling cities with incredible nightlife to wildlife and crystal-clear lakes, we’ve got it all. The best part? Some of the best places to visit are all within driving distance!

Located south of Calgary, Castle Provincial Park in Alberta is one of the many places worth checking out, especially if you’re seeking adventure before summer’s end!

With towering trees and hiking trails, this picturesque destination is a sight to behold, but the campground is truly something else!

Here, visitors can take photos, swim or go fishing, then stay the night in a clean, quiet site under a blanket of stars – but there are a few things worth noting!

According to Alberta Parks, guests must bring their own water and firewood – but don’t let that deter you!

In return, they provide a serene place to enjoy a weekend and make some memories.

Whether you use your day to watch the birds or dip your toes, this unique spot is a dream.

The water may be cold, but we’ve still got a long hot summer ahead and there’s no cooler place to spend a little time.
