If there are lakes where the only access is thru a PP, then you couldn't drive on with a car or truck. I'm not sure if you could sled on to those lakes, since vehicles are banned and I'm not sure if they consider a snowmobile a vehicle or not. The notice on the Alberta Parks website says, "Walking, hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle use are still permitted on designated trails"... not sure how to interpret that with respect to off-highway vehicle use and designated trails.

Look under the Highways Act for Vehicle description.
