Elk Island National Park

Never been here before, till I came a few weeks back. Loved seeing the wildlife and getting out of the city for a bit. The walking trails were a bit muddy due to the rain but was a lovely place to be. Excited to go back and try out some different trails.

Beautiful little nature space! Peaceful and quite.
Trails were muddy in some areas but very wide, clearly marked and rather busy. Nice little camping area with free wood provided is a plus too! Saw some bison, prairie chickens, loons and geese.

A good national park running in a modern way. what I am saying is a lot of people nowadays want to see the animals without getting off the car, wants to have some kind of camping experience but needs all kind of modern services, or simply the kids want to go to the lake but you don't have a trailer, the elk island national park has it all!! just bring your kids and lunch box then just go! benches, tables even camp fire and modern toilets even golf! just within the bisons' reach!

This national park is closest to Edmonton I believe. Its vast.The entrance fee is very reasonable. The staff here are very helpful and friendly. It's a great place for family and friends to visit . There are many activities to be enjoyed like going on the canoe, trekking, camping, barbecues, seeing the beaver dams etc. Its a very pleasant and peaceful place. It's very well maintained and clean. Its great for a day trip too. Canoes are offered on Rental basis. Most people come and barbecue, enjoy the man made beach etc. If you are lucky you can see the wild life like the Bison and Beaver . The park is close to the Ukrainian village on one side and The town of Lamont which is about 10 kilometers on the other side. It's a beautiful place to visit.

Great place for the whole family. The nature and scenery is beautiful, perfect to enjoy a barbecue or picnic. It's also a wonderful place to hike, camp, and savour delicious snacks from the nearby food trucks. Kids can discover a lot of things in the nature here, including the bison and other animals. It's also a great place to bring your pets. Elk Island is our go-to place whenever we need to spend some quality time together as a family. I would totally recommend it!
