Description

A scenic day-use and picnic area, Big Hills Springs Provincial Park is best known for its waterfalls, which cascade over a series of rocky terraces in a lush landscape of shrubs and grasses. The falls flow year-round and are an excellent spot to view wildlife, hike, picnic, or just take in the scenery. The park was once the site of a fish hatchery and has some claim to historical significance as the site of Alberta's first creamery, although scant evidence remains of these activities today. The four day-use sites do not provide fire pits or water hookups, but toilets and water are available.
