Elk Island National Park

Elk Island National Park is a national park in central Alberta, Canada, situated approximately 35 kilometers east of Edmonton along the Yellowhead Highway.

The park occupies the Beaverhills region, a knob and kettle landscape characterized by a mix of native fescue grassland, aspen parkland, and boreal forest. Established in 1913, Elk Island has played a pivotal role in North American conservation, particularly in the preservation and recovery of both plains bison and wood bison populations. The park is administered by Parks Canada and welcomes approximately 400,000 visitors annually for wildlife viewing, birding, camping, and year-round outdoor recreation.
