Spray Valley Provincial Park is easily accessible by road, and provides a setting for low impact activities such as hiking and cross-country skiing. Camping is permitted in summer 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.
Other recreational activities include canoeing, kayaking, fishing for trout and ice fishing.Conservation
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.
