Elk Island National Park

5km off the highway we entered the National Park. We had a park pass that allowed free entry, but there was no one collecting so not needed. Within a couple weeks the park will be blooming and start to crowd with campers and day trippers from Edmonton but we had it almost entirely to ourselves.

Quite large, it is on an upland and is site of forest and open woodland, with large areas of both seasonal and permanent water. It has a 'light pollution protection zone' around it and thus is reasonably safe from encroachments.
