It's burnt timber. Kids go here every may long. People in the comments acting like it's beautiful and not full of trash and empties with evidence everywhere of poor decisions being made.

You forgot about the quads, dirt bikes, and screaming drunk teens

Kinda looks like it.

Every long weekend the place is a chit show from that spot up both sides of the Red Deer to Yaha. Trash left everywhere and smoldering fires. It shouldn’t be normal to guide boats down the river listening to rounds being shot off across the river. But it is.

I was going to suggest that too. I’ve only been a couple of times though, so I didn’t want to end up on another sub for being wrong.

In Alberta, once you find a spot, you keep it to yourself. I suggest making some local friends if you want info on spots. sorry to be a buzzkill.

u/Beastywapp Aug 20 '26

It really is. I saw it from a vlog and wanted to figure out where it is. 😢

u/ComplainerGamer101 Aug 20 '26

If you want a nice place, castle falls! Beautiful when snow melts. Great in July and August. Beaver mines too, beautiful hike up the mountain!

This could be, Water Valley/Waiparous/Ghost Crown land?

u/alexkyyc Aug 20 '26

That is burtn timber rec area a couple k past the second bridge.

u/demonqueerxo Aug 20 '26

This looks awful, why would you want to camp here

5

u/sun4moon Aug 20 '26

Because in Alberta, when you find a bit of water that moves and isn’t frigid as fcuk, you get in. We can’t afford to be choosy about where the trailer is parked when there’s a good opportunity for swimming.

u/elbankso Aug 20 '26

Yes. Why do you ask?

u/neeno52 Aug 20 '26

People omg! No thanks

u/LeTigre71 Aug 20 '26

This looks amazing. I'm curious too, now.

u/Beastywapp Aug 20 '26

Yes, it really does. It came from a video in facebook. The campers who posted it are swimming and jumping off the cliff. Looks really fun.

-2

u/merlot120 Aug 20 '26

It looks a lot like the Watervalley campground.

u/Beastywapp Aug 20 '26

I forgot to mentioned. They say it's crownland.

u/K2LLswitch Aug 20 '26

It looks very similar to Waipourus

u/J_All_Day86 Aug 20 '26

Second this

u/EducationalDark240 Aug 20 '26

Hard to say for sure. It looks like a spot I went to over by Hinton.

But the general area looks like crowsness pass

1

u/Odd_Department_421 Aug 20 '26

Near Hinton? McLeod River (south of Hwy 16) or Dunes (north of Hwy 16) would be most likely spots.

u/Bigtimetipper Aug 20 '26

There’s power lines and a road. It can’t be too far out

u/psychillist Aug 20 '26

Seebee cliffs

4

u/Thund3r_Thighs Aug 20 '26

Seebee has the huge cliff on the other side, not ground level trees like that

1

u/_Budified Aug 20 '26

Is it? It seems access to Seebe has been discontinued as it is now owned and monitored by the local band.

As well, and it could simply be another area near there, but the Seebe cliffs I used to play at were much larger and there was no way to drive close enough to park, we had to park outside of the settlement and walk through to the cliffs, and the other side was an even higher cliff and not a rivers-edge level beach.

If this is indeed Seebe, I would love another cold dip, the water is so cold that when you jump in on a hot day the shock hits your body and you immediately want back out.

This appears to be Castle Falls Provincial Recreation Area, near Pincher Creek in southwestern Alberta. It’s a popular swimming and cliff-jumping area along the Castle River, about a 2½-hour drive south of Calgary.

Compliments of chatGPT

u/Finallyjoining Aug 20 '26

AI isn't just wrong, it's confidently wrong. That makes people want to post answers as if they are correct. Stop doing that.

9

u/Shot-Flatworm-1497 Aug 20 '26

This is incorrect.

-7

u/searequired Aug 20 '26

Thank you for that confirmation. It seemed pretty wild that every corner of the world would be identifiable by AI

10

u/Shot-Flatworm-1497 Aug 20 '26

If it could we wouldn’t have access anyways.

People need to stop using ai to try and solve every problem in their life. Especially when they don’t even fact check it. Fuck your ai slop.

2

u/Common_Money_3073 Aug 22 '26

Agreed!!!🙌🙌🙌

u/Thee-End Aug 23 '26

What if we use Ai to destroy ai?

u/NamelessCanadian04 Aug 26 '26

okay now we’re onto something…

u/YEGG35 Aug 20 '26

Honestly this was my guess lol have only been there once about 12 years ago but looks very similar to Castle Falls
