Rossington (D3-72)
Site Details
This 319-acre site along the Pembina River is approximately 20 km E of Barrhead. While there is no direct road access, it is 350 m N of Highway 18 and can be accessed on foot along the river or through a narrow public access corridor located directly N of the site sign. The access trail follows the treeline W of a cultivated field. The site includes the quarters listed on the E side of the Pembina River, except for the cultivated lands, which are held under a farm development lease. The site does not include the portion of NW-09 N of the oxbow or those portions of quarter sections on the W side of the Pembina River. It is mostly forested with mature trembling aspen. Part of an oxbow lake enters the site on the E side, providing habitat for ducks and other wetland species. Other wildlife in the area includes moose, white-tailed and mule deer, black bear and ruffed grouse. Fish species in the Pembina River include northern pike, walleye and goldeye.
Restrictions
Day use only. No open fires. Foot access only. To enter the farm development lease, refer to access and restrictions on the GOA website.
