Wyndam Carseland Campground should be designated as a bird sanctuary. During spring and summer I’m sure you can find every bird species native to Alberta here. Regular campers hang bird feeders along with tripod mounted cameras. Owls can be heard calling at night and during the day. Pelicans and Double Crested Cormorants can be seen fishing near the weir.

This stretch of the Bow River in either direction is excellent for fly fishing from early spring to late fall. You’ll need a fishing license to try your luck. There is a short walk from the campground along the river heading up stream towards the irrigation weir and day use area. The weirs “Extreme Danger” sign shown below is true, several individuals have drowned trying to float it.

Night skies here are ink black and rank #5 on the Bortle Scale.
