TWIN LAKES PROVINCIAL Located about 65 km north of the town of Manning, Alberta and only 1 km off Highway 35, is Twin Lakes Recreation Area.
Twin Lakes received its name from the description of the two lakes that are next to each other. Twin Lakes Provincial Recreation Area was opened in 1962 and is the smaller of the two lakes. Access to the other larger lake to the south can be made by hiking or using a quad. Rainbow Trout is stocked annually by Fish & Wildlife. Many get out to the lake during the winter months and do some ice fishing.
A modern looking playground is located in the central part of the park. |
A pier extends into the lake. Some try their fishing luck from here.
Boat launch area gives easy access to the lake. Because this lake is so small, gas powered motors are not allowed. Kayaks and row boats are a common site. A modern medal fish cleaning stand is located north of the boat launch area.
A Walking Trail around this lake takes you to the Second Lake. The trail was constructed by a Junior Forest Ranger Crew in 1997 and is a distance of 3 km. Wildlife in the area include squirrels, moose, bears and deer. Also Loons, Blue Herons, and Offsprees. |
