Vermilion Provincial Park

Vermilion Provincial Park is a natural area in east-central Alberta along the Vermilion River, featuring a mix of aspen forest and open grassland. The park includes an artificial lake, a network of walking and biking trails, and designated areas for camping and fishing.

The park was created in 1958 as part of Alberta's early park development efforts. A former Canadian National Railway station and caboose were moved to the site, preserving a piece of the region's railway heritage.

The park serves as a gathering place where people enjoy outdoor recreation and connect with the landscape through seasonal activities. Local residents and visitors alike use the trails and water areas to spend time together in nature.

The park is open year-round and offers activities suitable for different seasons. Bring sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather, especially when using the trails or spending time near the water.

White-tailed deer and red fox roam the park grounds, while visitors might spot ruffed grouse moving through the forests. The lake supports northern pike and lake chub, offering glimpses of wildlife both on land and in the water.
