SIMONETTE RIVER RECREATION AREA
Located about 55 km southeast of Grande Prairie, Alberta on Highway 43 is the Simonette River. From Grande Prairie take Highway 43 east. At Bezanson cross the Smoky River and after a few kilometers take the Forestry Truck Road south for 10km.
Simonette River Recreation Area is located right on the riverbed of the Simonette River. With two small campgrounds, one on each side of the road, it makes a nice escape to enjoy the beautiful scenery and as well as the river.
Because of the shallow water, it makes it an ideal location for swimming or floating down the river.
Surveys of this area as early as 1879 referred to this river as Simonette or Moose River. Others believed the River got its name in the 1930's when Simon Walker was living on the river.
Welcome to the Simonette River Recreation Area.
There only 20 camping sites but each one is near to the river. Pump water, firepits, picnic tables, firewood.
