what to expect

Take a step back in time and explore the badlands of Midland Provincial Park. This park has lots to explore, including two Day Use Areas, trails, a historical coal mine interpretation area, a disc golf course, and most famously, the Royal Tyrrell Museum . The park is a short distance from the Town of Drumheller, which is connected to the park via the River Park Trail System. But take your time and explore the other loops including The Badlands Interpretive Trail and the Midland Coal Mine Interpretive trail. Midland Provincial Park was established in 1979 to conserve a significant chapter in Alberta's coal mining history. There are lots of unique plants and animals which live in this badlands ecosystem, including cougars. Take a look at our Wildlife Safety Page for tips. This park is day us…
