About this activity

Located less than an hour away from Edmonton, Elk Island National Park of Canada protects the wilderness of the aspen parkland, one of the most endangered habitats in Canada. This beautiful oasis is home to herds of free roaming plains bison, wood bison, moose, deer, and elk.

Also boasting over 250 species of birds, the park is a bird watcher's paradise. Be it for wildlife viewing, hiking, cross-country skiing, picnicking or overnight camping, there is something for everyone at Elk Island National Park.

Enjoy a hike on one of the many park trails or take a canoe and explore the open water of Astotin Lake. For children it's a great place for them to explore nature, with three trails that are under 4km in length. They can slo enjoy the blackground and the beach too, with a fee discovery kit from the Astotin Theatre.

Whether you want to head to the water, explore on foot or simply setup a picnic at the beach and look up at the starry skies, there's so much to see and do for the whole family.
