Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, Provincial park on islands in Lac La Biche County, Canada.

Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park spans multiple islands in Lac la Biche, featuring a 300-year-old mixed-wood forest of balsam fir and white spruce.

The park, established in 1952 as Big Island Provincial Park, received its current name in 1962 to honor the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

The islands within the park represent traditional lands of Cree and Chipewyan peoples, with Black Fox Island serving as a refuge during the 1885 North-West Rebellion.

The park provides comfort camping in cabins and tipis on Long Island, equipped with full kitchens and bathrooms, requiring visitors to bring only food and bedding.

The park hosts more than 200 bird species and contains Alberta's only island camping destination, accessible through a causeway crossing Lac La Biche.
