• 84 Serviced Sites • 15 Tent Sites • Group Sites • Rosedale Suspension Bridge This Footbridge is similar to the one built in 1931 by the Great West Coal Company for miners and coal to cross the Red Deer River from the Star Mine. Prior to it’s completion, men and coal were slung across the river on a cable. The mine has long since closed, leaving only slag heaps to give evidence to the activity that once existed across the river. Warning: The coal in the slag heaps has been smouldering for years. DO NOT approach smoking coal or climb slag heaps. A thin black crust may hide coal or burned out caverns underneath.
Pets welcome (must be leashed outside site - no charge) • Visa, Mastercard, Interac accepted

This canyon, which natives believed to be haunted, is one of the most exciting features of the area, especially for the avid hiker. During wet weather, the soils forming the slopes of the canyon walls become extremely slippery so hiking should be limited to dry weather.

This second loop, also approximately 60 km long, starts and ends in Rosedale. Leaving Rosedale, Highway 10X will take you to the Hamlet of Wayne. This stretch of highway features 11 narrow bridges criss-crossing the Rosebud River. At Wayne, the highway ends and to continue, you must use one of either two fairly steep gravel roads. Both of these gravel roads lead you to Highway 56, which will return you to Drumheller. If you continue, Secondary Highway 569 (gravel), east from Dalum will take you to East Coulee. From here, the loop follows Highway 10 back to Rosedale.
