Ice Fishing

From December-May (depending on ice conditions), catch your dinner in the serenity of Alberta’s backcountry. As lakes and ponds freeze across our landscape, Kananaskis becomes home to ice-fishing fit for a forest king. Both Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes offer pristine ice fishing locations, with the Lower being one of the most accessible trophy fisheries in southern Alberta. Apply through Alberta Parks for a Spray Lake Ice Fishing Shelter Permit for the full experience.
