We were there photographing a wedding. Nice place. Lots of people launching rafts to the river from this location. First time here. Lots of apace to have a wedding outside and a campfire in a sheltered area. Only bad part were the extreme number of wasps getting into the food. Staff moved refreshments inside. Nice day but a little smokey.

Nice natural scenery and good view of the river which gets super busy with rafters / canoers on weekends. Picnic tables with typical fire pits that one can use, although most people bring their own BBQ grills.However, there is no playground area for kids and the person giving the interpretive" tour is a millenial SJW who provides biased "historical" information influenced by far left ideology"

It was a good experience to visit a historic site and remember what I learnt in Social studies. Its located about 10 to 15 minutes from the Red Deer Sports Museum. It's a very huge place with a beautiful river view ,natural scenic beauty. The staff are very courteous, friendly and helpful. I visited this weekend and there were many activities. One was an enactment with cannon and there were many other interesting things to do as a family, especially for kids. At main reception you can get snacks, drinks, icecream etc. The exhibits are really worth seeing. Our Province has so many beautiful and historical places to visit.

I have lived in Red Deer for 20 years and never really taken the time to go out there and do the interpretive center and stuff. Its so interesting, its like the social equivalent to Kerrywood Nature Centre, which is all about the natural history of the region. Very informative, with a nice layout and good displays.

Great place to visit and to launch your kayak for a float down the Red Deer River.

If you haven't been to the fort it's well worth it to go check it out.
