Wood Buffalo National Park

Welcome to the largest national park in Canada and the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserve. Wander through a boulder field across Grosbeak Lake’s weird salt landscape. Snap photos of bison herds wallowing in the dirt along Pine Lake Road. Watch meteors and northern lights from the comfort of your campsite.
