Calling Lake Provincial Park

Calling Lake Provincial Park is a protected area along the southern shore of Calling Lake in Alberta and covers about 7.38 square kilometers. The landscape features marshy shorelines that provide nesting and resting grounds for various waterfowl species.

The area was officially established as a provincial park in 1971 and placed under protection. Since its creation, it has maintained these natural spaces to preserve the habitats of wildlife and plant life for future generations.

The park serves as a gathering spot for people interested in watching waterfowl, particularly the American white pelicans and great blue herons that inhabit the area. Visitors come to observe these birds in their natural setting and appreciate the quiet lake environment.

The park offers camping areas and opportunities for water sports as well as fishing for pike, perch, and walleye across different seasons. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and plan their bird watching and fishing activities around the seasonal conditions.

The lake serves as a critical stopping point and breeding ground for migratory birds, particularly American white pelicans that form impressive colonies during nesting season. This concentration of rare birds makes visiting at the right time of year a special experience for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers.
