Fidler-Greywillow Wildland Provincial Park

Fidler-Greywillow Wildland Provincial Park is a protected wilderness area on Lake Athabasca's north shore featuring sandy beaches, sandstone formations, and jack pine forests. The landscape is characterized by expansive shorelines, natural inlets, and relatively undisturbed vegetation patterns along the water's edge.

The protected area was formally established in 1998 as a deliberate step to preserve this remote corner of northeastern Alberta from development pressures. The naming honors two historical surveyors who explored the region, linking modern conservation efforts to the area's exploration heritage.

The park draws visitors seeking remote wilderness experiences where they can observe untouched natural processes and wildlife in their original state. The place represents a commitment to keeping this portion of northeastern Alberta largely unchanged for future generations to discover.

The park is only accessible by floatplane from Fort McMurray or boat from Fort Chipewyan, as no road access exists. Visitors should expect to be entirely remote and self-reliant, with no facilities or services on-site.

The park contains Bustard Island, Alberta's largest sand island with distinctive storm beaches formed by wind and water action. This island within the park boundaries offers an unexpected landscape feature that sets it apart from typical shoreline environments.
