The active outdoors person has plenty of opportunity for touring, hiking, biking, camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, ATVing, white water rafting, caving, guiding or skiing – as well as taking part in community festivals and events. With a vast variety of terrain and pristine surroundings, Yellowhead County caters to all types of hikers. Hiking trails in our canyons and hoodoos offer a unique Alberta perspective. You can camp in one of seven County campgrounds, or our numerous Provincial Parks or Wildland Parks where swimming, boating, and some of the best fishing in the province abound. There are also a multitude of private campgrounds in the County.
