Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

In the above graphic, there are six protected areas, two recreational areas, and one undesignated area which SAPAA has adopted. This is an integrated mountain area is about 40 km west of Nordegg.

In the west is Banff National Park. Under federal jurisdiction, it adjoins the White Goat Wilderness Area which forms the northern border of the Kootney-Cline PP-CNT. This large area has a reservation against it but is not protected. An email exchange with the Government of Alberta, resulted in this information [1]:

Lake of the Falls, Landslide Lake and surrounding area used to be reserved under CLR180028 for the establishment of proposed Bighorn Wildland Park. However, since it was decided to not go ahead with the proposal, this reservation was cancelled. The area is located within the Job/Cline Public Land Use Zone and therefore is protected from disturbance to some extent through the Eastern Slopes Policy and the Bighorn Backcountry Access Management Plan.

Separating Kootney-Cline’s west and east portions is the Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve. It is bordered to the south by Siffleur Wilderness Area. Inside of Kootney Cline are two PRA (Thompson Creek and Kootney Plans), one CNT and PNT – the subject of this page!

Lake of the Falls (CNT) is a popular hiking destination (see the further reading section). This lake is often mentioned with the more well travelled Landslide Lake.

Landslide Lake (PNT) is slightly east of Lake of the Falls. Unfortunately, OHVs are permitted in the larger public land use zone (PLUZ) suggesting that the usual disturbances they cause may encroach on these two protected areas [2]. An interpretative trail was created in 2010 to describe the impact of a prescribed burn [3].
