what to expect

Established in 1978, Hilliard’s Bay Provincial Park protects some of the best sand beaches in northwestern Alberta as well as some regionally significant features including several different kinds of wetlands, shoreline escarpments, and raised beaches – relics of a larger Lesser Slave Lake in earlier times. The variety of habitats make for bountiful birdwatching, and in addition to a beautiful beach, the lake provides great fishing, ice fishing, boating, paddling, waterskiing, and windsurfing prospects. More than 3km of trails offer hikers and bicyclers opportunities to explore the park and connect with the Trans-Canada Trail network.
