Elk Island National Park

Besides hiking and watching for bison, there’s plenty to do at Astontin Lake. Canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddleboards are available to rent at the day use area so you can serenely paddle around the lake.

Just 5 minutes from the Elk Island National Park entrance is the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. Step back in time and see what life was like for Ukrainian settlers in Alberta during the early 1900s. Walk through the open-air village and watch the costumed staff working at historic trades like woodworking and blacksmithing. You can even try some of the traditional food that the settlers would have made. Don’t forget to visit Edmonton, which is full of interesting museums to explore. The Royal Alberta Museum has over 10 million objects from native tribes while aviation fans will want to visit the Alberta Aviation Museum which is home to historic military and civilian aircrafts. Or stop by Fort Edmonton Park, which is Canada’s largest living history museum and teaches about local area. You can also head to River Valley Parks, the largest urban park in Canada, which features 11 lakes, 22 ravines, nature centers, and even a golf course.
