Dunvegan West Wildland Provincial Park

Dunvegan West Wildland Provincial Park protects a relatively undeveloped stretch of northwestern Alberta along the south bank of the Peace River, extending west from Dunvegan in several separate parcels. Created on 20 December 2000, it covers 20,967.8 hectares and preserves part of Alberta’s smallest ecological subregion, the Peace River parkland, along with land in the dry mixedwood boreal forest. Its river and creek valley cliffs provide important nesting habitat for bald eagles, golden eagles, and falcons, while the valleys support deer and elk year-round. The park prioritizes conservation over facilities, so recreation remains low-impact, with backcountry camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
