what to expect

Remember the family vacations you experienced as a child—lazy days on the beach, hours spent exploring trails and evenings spent around the campfire? Come and re-create these memories on the white sand shores and peaceful trails of Whitney Lakes Provincial Park. Located just three hours northeast of the city of Edmonton, the park is situated in a beautiful forested landscape surrounding four lakes—Whitney, Ross, Laurier and Borden. The park’s wetlands and forests create an interesting combination of habitats that will allow you to experience not only fond memories of childhood, but a fascinating variety of plants and animals as well.
