Map of Livingstone River – Premier Alberta Fly Fishing

The Livingstone River is one of the headwaters of the Oldman river drainage system.  For 40 km it flows southward along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains between two mountain ranges.

Geography

The Livingstone River gets its name from one of two Canadian Mount Livingstone’s which in turn were named by John Palliser in memory of the famed British explorer, David Livingstone.

The Livingstone River valley falls within the Livingstone-Porcupine region and is managed under the 1987 Livingstone Porcupine Hills Sub-Regional Integrated Resource Plan.  Management objectives of this plan include elements of watershed protection and enhancement, preservation of the nature landscape and wildlife species, protection of recreational resources, and maintenance of sustainable resource utilization.

Regional Map of the Livingstone River Area

The Livingstone River is located south of Kananaskis Country.  The Forestry Trunk Road (also known as Range Road 40A) which extends from Highway 40 at its north end to the Crowsnest Pass and Coleman, Alberta at its south end parallels the river for much of its length, providing access for various recreational activities.

Activities

The Livingstone River area is an ecologically significant area of public land that provides an important connection between adjacent protected areas. Most of the area is zoned for multiple use, including both resource extraction and recreational activity.

Recreational use in this area consists primarily of off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, random access camping and fly fishing.  The Livingstone River is considered one of Alberta’s best catch-and-release cutthroat trout streams and is popular with local fly fishers.

Remember, given the ecological significance of the area we have a responsibility to exercise care and respect when enjoying the Livingstone River area.
