The Deer Creek, Red Deer River and James-Wilson recreation areas near Sundre, north of Calgary in south-central Alberta invite jeep riders to visit their parks. These recreation areas in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies provide ATV trails for jeep enthusiasts. All three trails provide OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) staging areas. They expect that drivers have proper insurance, vehicle registration, lights and a muffler.
Jeep trails in the Noregg area, approximately four hours northwest of Calgary, include Crescent Falls, Upper Shunda Creek, Shunda Viewpoint, Harlech, Ram River Falls and Snow Creek. These ATV trails take jeeps through the wilderness of the eastern slopes of the Alberta Rockies. The Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association reminds riders that they must assume responsibility to ascertain that Off Highway Vehicles have permission to use any trail that they travel.
ATVers and jeep travelers can travel along Calgary roads and trails on their way to other Southern Alberta trails. Edmontron Trail in Calgary brings jeep travelers to the Trans-Canada Highway and Deerfoot Trail will bring jeep drivers to the Queen Elizabeth Highway on their way to northern travel. Stoney Trail loops around Calgary, meeting the Trans-Canada Highway on the eastern and western sides of Calgary while the Macleod Trail travels southward through Calgary's southern district.
