Red Lodge Provincial Park — Attraction in Alberta

Nice concept. Sandy banks where families can build sand castles and enjoy the water and sun. Bring your floaties into the water and gently float down the lazy river. Unfortunately in August 2021 the water level of the river was very low. We could float only for short distances untill we were stopped when the water level was to low and our floaties ran aground. We had to get out and walk over the shallow areas to the next deep spot carrying our tubes. Wearing water shoes was a must as there were lots of rocks covering the river bed. The water was also very murky. This activity might be better enjoyed after a significant rainfall has occurred...

If they sprayed for them, that would have made for a much more comfortable experience, especially for my 4 year old granddaughter. There are showers (I did not use so cannot comment but would have if we had stayed longer). A quick drive...

I would recommend bringing strong bug spray; however, they do have a cute little store on site that does sell some...
