Introduction
Did you know that Alberta is home to over 200 public recreation areas? These are areas that are identified by Alberta Parks to be higher interest areas and parks are built around them. Their activities also widely vary. Many of the PRAs have camping while other are day use only. They are found commonly on lakes, rivers, trailheads, and there is even some where you have to hike in.
The Crown Land version of PRA is PLRA (Public Land Recreation Areas). We have also done a similar article on every PLRA in Alberta.
Below is a table that we compiled of all of the Public Recreation Areas in Alberta:
