A 5 minute drive takes you to a special place where you can spread out a blanket, gaze at a starry sky undiluted by city light, or tour behind the scenes at a bison handling facility and learn how this magnificent animal was brought back from near extinction. Elk Island National Park is not only an important refuge for bison, elk and more than 250 bird species, but is also an oasis of calm for day picnickers and overnight campers alike!

Beaver Hills Biodiversity Trail
Nature Buffs will love exploring this very special preserve!
Just east of Elk Island National Park lies the Smith Blackburn Homestead in the Cooking Lake Moraine, a mosaic of wetlands and upland forest. It is considered important habitat for breeding, migratory waterfowl and other bird species.
This land is comprised of deciduous forest, dominated by Trembling Aspen and Balsam Poplar, and underlain with Raspberry and Beaked Hazelnut. The landscape is dotted with wetlands containing willows, asters and cattails. This ecosystem combination allows birds, such as Great Blue Herons, Soras, Common Loons and Common Yellowthroat, to nest, raise their young and thrive. Other species living in this space include Black Bear, Deer, Moose, Beaver, Wood Frogs, Canadian Tiger Swallowtail butterflies and many more.
As of October 2020, Smith Blackburn Homestead is open to the public, following the construction of three boardwalks, a pedestrian gate, and a sign kiosk to facilitate visitor access and to protect sensitive wildlife habitat.
