Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Astotin Lake
Astotin Lake is the accessible heart of Elk Island, with beach, wharves, islets and reflections of boreal forest. It comes to paddling, picnic or waiting in the evening, when the lake becomes one of the best places in the park to look at the sky and the silhouettes of birds.
Place indismissible
Bison Loop Road
Bison Loop Road Cross the meadows and woodlands where the Elk Island bison sometimes appear close to the car. The loop imposes a slow and attentive rhythm: dark bumps in the grass, dust on the way, young calves in the spring.
Nature and panorama
Beaver Pond Trail
Beaver Pond Trail Follows a landscape shaped by beavers, between pools, dikes, aspen and openings on the water. The trail gives a good chance to observe fresh traces, water birds and subtle changes of vegetation, especially early in the morning.
Place indismissible
Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village Re-establishes the lives of Ukrainian settlers in Alberta, with houses, churches, schools and workshops animated by costumed interpreters. Near Elk Island, he adds a human dimension to the stay, between vegetable gardens, ovens, icons and installation stories on the Prairies.
