Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park, Provincial park in Woodlands County, Canada

Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park is a 7,903-hectare protected area in Woodlands County, Alberta, established in 1997. Its eastern two-thirds are covered by inland dunes formed from glacial meltwater sands and now grown with jack pine lichen forests; the western third is wetland with black spruce and larch. The Athabasca River forms the eastern boundary, cutting a valley with meanders, oxbow lakes and river islands.

The Klondike Trail was established between 1824 and 1825 as a portage route connecting Fort Edmonton with Fort Assiniboine. This route was central to early trading infrastructure in the region.

The park preserves traces of the York Factory Express, a fur trading route used by the Hudson's Bay Company. This legacy helps visitors understand the early commercial activities that shaped the region.

The park has three staging areas for day visitors and allows backcountry camping throughout the landscape. Visitors should be prepared for remote conditions and self-reliance when exploring.

The park's dunes formed after the Laurentide Ice Sheet retreated, when meltwater rivers left sand that prevailing winds shaped into a dune complex covering the eastern two-thirds of the park. Between the dunes lie fens where sandhill cranes nest. The old-growth forests shelter great gray owls, Cooper's hawks and pileated woodpeckers.
