Place indismissible
Salt Plains
The Wood Buffalo National Park Salt Plains are surprised by their white plates, salty sooting and shallow pools in the middle of the northern forest. The soil sometimes cracks under the steps, and the traces of animals remind that salt attracts wildlife. In clear weather, the landscape appears almost mineral, very different from the marshes and neighboring woods.
Place indismissible
Pelican Rapids
At Pelican Rapids, near Fort Smith, the Slave River tightens in bright waters and attracts white pelicans during the beautiful season. They are observed from the shore, placed on the rocks or slipping over the current. The site combines the continuous noise of the rapids with a rare wildlife observation scene in this northern part.
Culture and heritage
Fort Smith Mission Park
Fort Smith Mission Park maintains elements related to the city's missions and early permanent settlements. Between historic buildings, grassy spaces and interpretive panels, the site is repositioning Fort Smith in the history of the Slave River exchanges. The tour is short, but it gives context before going to Wood Buffalo National Park or the rapids.
Nature and landscape
Pine Lake
Pine Lake offers one of the softest accesses of Wood Buffalo National Park, with clear water lined with pines, beaches and camping areas. You come there to swim, paddling or just watch the colors change on the banks. After salty landscapes and the great plains, the lake brings a more family-friendly and sheltered breath.
