About Elk Island

Located east of Edmonton, Elk Island is a crucial wildlife sanctuary and played a significant role in the conservation of plains and wood bison. The park features aspen parkland, boreal forest, and wetlands. It's home to large populations of elk, moose, and both subspecies of bison in North America.
