Ross Lake

About Ross Lake

Ross Lake Natural Area represents the largest Crown-owned area of foothills fescue grassland in Alberta. Portions of the area were not glaciated during the last Ice Age, resulting in rare plant and insect populations. The site is located approximately 10 km north of the Montana border and protects critical grassland ecosystems. A central quarter section of the site, which includes the main trail, is privately owned rather than Crown land.
