About Cow Lake
Located 25 km southwest of Rocky Mountain House, this natural area features a shallow lake surrounded by old-growth boreal forest including black spruce and tamarack, with sedge meadows and willows. The site provides critical habitat for waterfowl and supports wetland ecosystems that are home to 80% of Alberta's wildlife.
