Tips for Visiting Brown-Lowery Provincial Park
- The park is a short drive from Calgary - use it for a half-day hike or picnic rather than an overnight wilderness trip.
- Park at the main lot off Highway 22X to avoid private ranchlands.
- Most visitors circle the ridge trail for views toward the Rockies; spring wildflowers are a good reason to time a visit in May-June.
