Tips from locals
Less than an hour outside the city, this national park offers abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. It is also a dark sky preserve so great spot for stargazing.
Elk Island National Park is Canada's largest completely enclosed national park, and contains the second largest population of bison. A 35 mile ute drive from Edmonton.
Just east of the city is the Elk Island National Park. This is Canada’s largest fully enclosed park and is a refuge for moose, elk, lynx, black bears, gray wolves, 250 species of birds, and herds of plains bison imported from Montana and rescued from extinction.
