Greene Valley Provincial Park

Greene Valley Provincial Park is a nature reserve along the Heart River where several waterways meet and create scenic views across forested terrain. The landscape encompasses diverse habitats that support local wildlife populations and their natural environments.

The reserve was established to protect forest habitats and river valley ecosystems for future generations. A monument within the park honors a local pioneer and reflects the region's early exploration and settlement history.

Within the park boundaries, the Dr. Greene Cairn stands as a monument to Dr. William Greene, who contributed to early aviation achievements.

The area features hiking trails, spots for rest with river views, and opportunities to watch birds throughout the seasons. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and wear sturdy footwear when exploring the landscape.

Part of the park preserves the story of a gold prospector who built wealth from a tiny plot of land. This unusual tale shows how small land holdings gained importance during the mining rush.
