Butter Pot Provincial Park, Provincial park in Avalon Peninsula, Canada
Butter Pot Provincial Park spans 2,833 hectares of land, featuring diverse landscapes including forests, bogs, heaths, and ponds near St. John's.
The park, established in 1958, contains rocks from the Harbour Main group dating back 600 million years to the Precambrian era.
Local residents traditionally used this land for hunting, game trapping, berry picking, wood cutting, and grazing animals before its designation as a park.
The park maintains 175 campsites equipped with picnic tables and fireplaces, while offering swimming areas at Big Otter Pond without lifeguard supervision.
Large boulders called erratics, deposited by glacial ice sheets 10,000 years ago, mark the trail leading to Butter Pot Hill.
