Diverse montane landscapes, great scenery, camping, hiking, and trout fishing draw visitors to Beauvais Lake Provincial Park, a protected area that straddles the ecotone, or mixing zone, between native prairie grasslands and the Rocky Mountains. Rare plants such as the white bog orchid, mountain ladyslipper and blue camas can be observed in spring and early-sumer bloom. Nestled in the foothills of southwest Alberta, almost 3,000 acres, this provincial park protects a unique landscape of fescue grassland, wetlands, and forests of aspen, poplar, Douglas fir, spruce and pine. Beauvais Lake is home to loons, osprey, eagles, geese, mule deer, moose, elk, black and grizzly bears to name a few species of wildlife that inhabit the montane landscape.

The only access is on secondary road 775 to the main entrance of the park.
Piney Point and the homestead hiking trail heads are accessible from the Beaver Creek Day Use Area (parking is available, outhouses and kitchen shelters are located in this day use area).
The rest of the trails can be accessed from the playground in the campground (parking is available).

As early as 1881, newcomers settled near Beauvais Lake; trails lead to these early homestead sites and to beaver ponds, wooded slopes and lakeside walks.

Spectacular views of Alberta's Livingston Range, The Castle Wilderness, Porcupine Hills and British Columbia's Flathead Mountain Range meet your gaze as you climb Piney Point or Mount Albert in the park. Wildflower and bird watching are at their peak in June and July, bring your wildflower and bird guides. Visitors appreciate great half day hikes or walks, along the trail system and the quiet camping opportunities. As well, Beauvais Lake is only 20 minutes from Pincher Creek and a short drive to museums, annual community events and other hiking trails. The park has a nice secluded winter camping spot in the campground, bring your own water, several sites are ploughed.

This park is open all year round. In the summer, spring and fall enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, camping and fishing. The 85 site campground and much smaller walk in tent site are wonderful, secluded camping areas. In the winter the visitor will also find a section of campsites plowed and accessible; but should bring their own water and firewood. Folks should try their hand at snowshoeing or cross-country skiing and take part in the winter bird count for SW Alberta.
School groups, particularly grade four and five classes should visit in May and June with their teachers to gain outdoor educational experience with the grade five science unit wetland ecosystems and grade four social studies topic, a sense of land.
