Outdoors
Located in Lamont County, lies a year-round oasis where bison roam freely, sun glistens off lakes and ponds, and stars light-up the night sky; Elk Island National Park. This gentle wilderness of aspen woodlands, prairie meadows and pockets of wetland is a wildlife-watchers paradise; free roaming bison, elk, deer, moose, and more than 250 bird species call this place home.
A short drive to Elk Island National Park offers endless recreational opportunities. Explore over 80 km of trails by hiking or biking, rent a canoe to paddle around Astotin Lake's islands, join a free program, or borrow a geocaching kit for a nearly 200 square kilometre scavenger hunt. The fun doesn’t stop at sunset—cozy up by a fire and gaze at a sky filled with stars and the mesmerizing Northern Lights. Without city lights, you’ll see more than you ever imagined!
Tired of the crowds? Travel to Elk Island National Park during the week to avoid the weekend rush. If you are planning a weekend trip, enjoy popular areas early in the day or in the evening. Dawn and dusk are the best time to view wildlife, just be sure to drive carefully and share the road! Visit the Elk Island website to help plan your trip.
