Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park

what to expect

Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park is found along the shores of Lac Cardinal, 3 km north and 5 km west of Grimshaw off Hwy. 35 . Take a hike or go mountain biking along the shore and through the shady boreal forest trails. Use the hand launch to enjoy the lake from a kayak, canoe or small watercraft. Lac Cardinal's shallow waters cannot support a fish population, but its abundant vegetation is ideal habitat for waterfowl, making for great birdwatching. Over 140 species of birds and other wildlife that have been recorded in the park.
