Crawling Valley

 

Surrounded by a wide expanse of open native prairie near Bassano, Alberta, the Crawling Valley recreation site is a fisherman’s delight.  The constructed harbour and boat launch make access to the water easy.  Pike up to 20 pounds have tested the skills of many a fisherman, and a walleye fishery is now well established.  The reservoir is a popular spot for ice fishing in the winter as well, with an annual derby in March. 

 

If a place to shower makes or breaks your decision to come to a campsite, then you can add this one to your “must stay” list.  Spacious campsites are usually occupied by 5th Wheels or motor homes, but tents also dot the campgrounds.  A playground with some novel “large pipe” play area gives kids a chance to do what they do best – have fun.  A family bike ride along the various roadways is a relaxing way to make fond family memories.   For a first time visit, follow the signs and you will eventually get to this oasis in what seems to be an empty landscape.
