The park is open year round and does charge for entry.  You can pay per person or buy a park pass if you plan to come more than once.  The fee they charge is well worth it in my opinion.  Please check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pc.gc.ca\/en\/pn-np\/ab\/elkisland\/visit\/tarifs-fees\">Elk Island parks Canada<\/a> website for prices as they may change.  You can also get a parks Canada pass that works for Jasper &amp; Banff National Parks as well if you plan on traveling to them as well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p><strong>ELK ISLAND PARK VIDEO<\/strong><br>By:  Travel Chit Chat<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_32367\"  width=\"750\" height=\"422\"  data-origwidth=\"750\" data-origheight=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N_c9Ne5BlKE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>LOCATION<\/strong><br>54401 Range Rd 203, Alberta T8L 4B6<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"wpmapblock_0\" data-settings='{&quot;map_marker&quot;:[{&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;53.6882401&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;-112.8746663&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elk Island National Park&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;One of the National Parks in Alberta Canada.&quot;,&quot;iconType&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;customIconUrl&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;customIconWidth&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;customIconHeight&quot;:&quot;40&quot;}],&quot;map_zoom&quot;:10,&quot;scroll_wheel_zoom&quot;:false,&quot;map_type&quot;:&quot;OSM&quot;,&quot;center_index&quot;:0}' class=\"wpmapblockrender\" style=\"\n\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\theight: 273px;\n\t\t\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The park offers wonderful wildlife experiences.  Even though it&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/travel-spots\/canada\/alberta\/elk-island-national-park\/\">Elk Island National Park<\/a> the main attraction in terms of wildlife is the wild Bison.  There are hundreds in the park.  They have the Plains Bison and Wood Bison.  In the area where you can dive and the Bison are on the roads&#8230; these are the Plains Bison.  If you drive just outside of the south gate to highway 16 you usually can spot the Wood Bison which are the largest Bison on the planet, they usually can be found near the fences when going east on the highway.  There are plenty of other animals including elk, deer, wolf, coyote, beaver, 250 different bird species and many other creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUGGESTION: <\/strong> If you want to see the bison, elk and most other animals in the park.  You should come on a cloudy\/cool day and if your only coming to see the animals the best times would be in the early morning and in the evening a couple hours before dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2309\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/?attachment_id=2309\" class=\"wp-image-2309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/duck-babies.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2308\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/?attachment_id=2308\" class=\"wp-image-2308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bison-road.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2307\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/?attachment_id=2307\" class=\"wp-image-2307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-240x171.jpg 240w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-422x300.jpg 422w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park-600x427.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelchitchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/beaver-eggs-national-park.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a bunch of good hiking trails.  They range in size and intensity but if you are in reasonable condition you should should be able to walk most of the trails.  You can also camp or RV in the park for a fee, we haven&#8217;t camped in the park as of yet but it looked decent.  You can also canoe and swim.  Please be careful and make sure to check with a park attendant or read the posted bulletins on the Elk National Park <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pc.gc.ca\/en\/pn-np\/ab\/elkisland\/bulletins\">bulletin<\/a> for safety of the Astotin Lake water.
