Dunvegan Provincial Park
Dunvegan Provincial Park, Provincial park and national historic site in Fairview, Canada.
Description
Dunvegan Provincial Park sits along the Peace River with four historic buildings set among natural park areas. The site covers roughly 10 hectares and includes open fields, river views, and pathways connecting the preserved structures.
History
A trading post began here in 1805 and operated until 1918, serving as a key point in the fur trade network. After commercial operations ended, the location was later protected to preserve the buildings and landscape from this trading era.
Culture
The Beaver First Nation inhabited and worked these lands for generations before European contact reshaped the region. Today visitors can sense this Indigenous presence through the land itself and the stories shared at the site.
Practical
The park provides campsites with electrical hookups and day-use areas spread across the grounds. The best time to visit is between May and September when the site is fully open and facilities are accessible.
Did you know?
One of the oldest surviving residences in northern Alberta stands at this site, revealing how households lived during the early trading years. The structure offers glimpses into daily life for people who built homes far from larger settlements.
