The Ark Resort, at the east end of spectacular Great Central Lake, provides easy and assisted access to the Della Falls Trail which starts at the western end of the lake. Della Falls are Canada’s highest waterfalls and are located in Strathcona Park.
The Ark Resort runs a water taxi service and has canoes for rent! We also offer hiking gear: backpacks, tents, sleeping- bags etc. Our campground has RV and tent sites (some with water access), a mini-store, hot showers, flush toilets and coin laundry. We also provide a marina; float planes are welcome, jet skis are not welcome. Fishing is great and the swimming is refreshing.
Pets must be leashed.
