Walking trails to see wildlife, bison, elk, beavers 🦫, wild flowers.
It was -20 but we saw one buffalo which was cool. The trail where they are more populous was closed due to snow, it would have been nice to know before proceeding, though there was a notice posted on the outdoor bulletin boards by the info desk. Manage your expectations and you'll be very happy, nice way to get out of the house in the winter. The indoor fur samples are a nice experience.
Went there at midnight to view the Aurora. Best sighting by far!!

Elk Island National Park offers a peaceful environment with well-maintained walking trails and clean restrooms. Visitors can see a variety of wildlife, including bison, moose, beavers, and ducks. The park's infrastructure and campsites are also well-kept. In winter, the park is especially enjoyable, with fewer bugs and fewer people on the trails, making it a great place to get out of the house. The indoor fur samples provide an interesting experience, and visitors often see bison, moose, and beaver families on different trails. The lake can become overgrown with algae during the summer, so swimming or canoeing is not recommended then. Overall, with its natural beauty and abundance of wildlife, Elk Island National Park remains a must-visit destination, offering both scenic views and memorable wildlife encounters.
