Young's Point Provincial Park

Young's Point Provincial Park in northwestern Alberta lies on the north shore of Sturgeon Lake, west of Valleyview, and forms part of Alberta's provincial park system. Established on August 3, 1971, it was created to protect the boreal forest ecosystem. The park takes its name from homesteader Frederick Campbell Young, son of Elizabeth "Libby" McDougall and Harrison Young. Today it serves as a year-round recreation area with camping, a boat launch, day-use facilities, and twenty kilometres of maintained trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. Sturgeon Lake also supports boating, swimming, paddling, fishing, and ice fishing for species such as northern pike, walleye, whitefish, perch, and burbot.
