Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, Provincial park in Rocky View County, Canada

Big Hill Springs Provincial Park contains waterfalls flowing over rocky terraces covered with mosses, shrubs, and grasses in Alberta's foothills.

The park grounds housed Alberta's first commercial creamery from 1891 to 1910, using the constant supply of spring water for operations.

Plains Indians of the Blackfoot Confederacy and Cree people used this land for bison hunting, leaving behind pictographs and tools.

The park provides 78 acres of hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, with year-round access for outdoor activities.

The springs maintain a constant temperature of 6°C throughout the year, creating tufa rock formations from calcium deposits.
