Alberta Parks inside Big Island Provincial Parkwhat to expect
Alberta’s government officially established Big Island Provincial Park through an Order in Council on February 16, 2023. While visitors can access Big Island Provincial Park by boat via the North Saskatchewan River, the park is not currently accessible by land. We are taking active steps to secure overland access to make it easier for Albertans to enjoy this beautiful park. Big Island Provincial Park is managed through a tri-government partnership with the Alberta government, Enoch Cree Nation and the City of Edmonton. We are continuing to work collaboratively on next steps and we will share more details in the coming months.
