Spray Valley Provincial Park falls under the jurisdiction of Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation,[1] and on-site management is delegated to Kananaskis Country Campgrounds[2]
Spray Valley Provincial Park is easily accessible by road (the Bighorn Highway), and provides a setting for low impact activities such as hiking and cross-country skiing. Camping is permitted in summer (from May 17 to October 9) at the Lillian Lake, Ribbon Falls, Ribbon Lake, Eau Claire and Spray Lakes West campgrounds, and in winter at the Buller Mountain and Eau Claire campgrounds. Several day use areas are open for public in summer (with two areas, Sparrowhawk and Mount Shark, available year round).
A storm rolling into the Ribbon Creek valley is viewed from the trail leading up the cliff face beside Ribbon Falls in Spray Valley Provincial Park.Two tributaries meet along Galatea Creek in Spray Valley Provincial Park.
A management plan approved in March 2003 by the Kananaskis Country restricts further development in the park area, in order to preserve the ecological integrity. Restrictions were imposed on off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, horseback riding and biking, however a site in the Spray Valley is considered for the construction of a small lodge.[5][6]
