Big Knife Provincial Park

what to expect

Big Knife Provincial Park is set along the south side of the Battle River and contains an amazing mix of ecosystems. Visitors will have their choice of trails including to the scenic hoodoos, along the highlands in a mixed-forest, or along the flatlands river valley. The reservoir just downstream of the park slows the river and provides easy and calm access for water activities.
