Miquelon Lake Provincial Park

Miquelon Lake Provincial Park is a protected area in Camrose County built around a lake surrounded by mixed forest with a network of walking trails. The grounds include varied habitats and a campground with different accommodation types for overnight stays.

The area was recognized as a bird sanctuary in 1920 and became a provincial park in 1958 after local landowners donated their property. This change shows how wildlife protection developed in the region.

The interpretive center explains why this area matters for people who watch birds and what water habitats the birds need to survive. Visitors can observe how the local bird population changes throughout the seasons.

The park is open year-round and offers both unserviced and powered camping spots to suit different needs. Visitors should note that conditions change with the seasons and trails vary in difficulty levels.

The park belongs to the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, where reduced light pollution makes the night sky particularly clear. This combination of lake, forest, and dark skies supports both bird watching and stargazing.
