Fort Pitt Provincial Park

Fort Pitt Provincial Park contains archaeological remains of two different posts along with interpretive panels explaining the Northwest Resistance history.

The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Pitt in 1829 as a strategic trading post between Fort Carlton and Fort Edmonton on the North Saskatchewan River.

The park marks the location where Treaty Six was signed in 1876, defining the relationship between First Nations and European settlers in western Canada.

The park operates from May through September, offering picnic areas, washrooms, and direct access to the North Saskatchewan River for outdoor activities.

Archaeological excavations within the park reveal outlines of original fort structures, providing physical evidence of Canadian fur trade operations.
