He dug two artificial lakes, built a golf course, and added a campground. In 1972, John From sold the park to the Regional Park Authority. Carlton Trail Regional Park is located along the Carlton Trail, which was a 19th century trail that linked Fort Garry with Fort Edmonton.

The campgrounds have a total of 129 campsites with fire pits, potable water, picnic tables, washrooms, and showers. Swimming Lake–the smaller of the lakes–has a large beach, picnic area, and playground. The other lake, From Lake, is a 12-acre lake that is stocked for anglers. Only electric boats and canoes are allowed on the lake. [9] [10]
