Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, Provincial park in Alberta, Canada
The park stretches over 34.5 square kilometers of badlands terrain along the Red Deer River, featuring a plateau 200 meters above the water level.
Indigenous Cree peoples utilized this location to hunt bison by directing herds off the cliffs, establishing a significant hunting practice in the region.
The park contains an Albertosaurus bone bed discovered in 1910 by Barnum Brown, which remained untouched until Dr. Phil Currie rediscovered it in 1997.
The park provides two maintained campgrounds, Tolman East and Tolman West, plus a boat launch for river access between May and September.
The natural grasslands on the elevated plateau remain unchanged by human development, preserving plant species that are uncommon east of the Rocky Mountains.
