Lusk Creek Day Use Area is a small recreation site in Kananaskis Country that serves as a trailhead for Lusk Pass, Baldy Pass, and connecting forest trails. Nestled along Lusk Creek in a lightly forested valley, there are picnic areas, toilets, plenty of parking and basic access to the surrounding trail network, with mountain scenery beginning almost immediately beyond the highway crossing. Although simple in facilities, it has a quieter, more rustic feel than busier Kananaskis trailheads, making it a convenient starting point for hiking or biking through this area.
