If you have a car this is a great place an afternoon. There are some picnic tables close to the parking lot but further in there is genuinely beautiful and epic landscape. I created a treasure-hunt map of this park for a birthday suprise because it has so many magical areas: numerous springs and waterfalls, tipi forests, fairy lagoons, the ruins of an old creamery, dense bramble tunnels, and the list goes on. It's one of our favourite hidden parks in Alberta.
