Wildlife Viewing

A wealth of Opportunities

Our region’s diverse ecosystems include forests, grasslands, rivers, wetlands, lakes and mountains, providing habitats for a wide array of species. Deer, bear, moose, mountain sheep, elk, larger cats, marmots, beavers, otters and all sorts of feathered friends are frequently observed in our parks. Spring and fall are typically the most active periods offering increased chances to observe animals and enjoy the rich heritage of nature in Boundary Country.

An otter, a charming piece of wildlife, sticks its head above the water with droplets splashing around, holding something in its mouth—possibly food—while swimming in a calm, reflective body of water.

Step into Nature

Visit and experience nature at its finest. Bring your binoculars or camera because you never know what you might see.

Know Before You Go

Before visiting, it’s advisable to check local resources like nearby visitor centres for the latest information on activities. Always maintain a safe distance from wildlife to avoid causing stress to animals and to ensure personal safety. Never feed or touch wildlife.
