Kleskun Hill Natural Area | Alberta

Kleskun Hill Natural Area is an Alberta Parks natural area in the North region, located 20 kilometres east and five kilometres north of Grande Prairie. The official page says it is surrounded on three sides by Kleskun Hills Provincial Park.

The natural area has one day-use area and one campground.

Why Visit Kleskun Hill Natural Area

Kleskun Hill Natural Area is a compact badlands, camping, and museum stop in Peace Country. Alberta Parks describes a picnic area, small campground, and one-kilometre walking trail that circles past three eroded badlands hills.

The Kleskun Hill Museum Society operates the Kleskun Hill Museum on site, with restored buildings that tell the story of European settlement in the area. The campground is operated by the County of Grande Prairie and sits in the northernmost badlands in Alberta. Alberta Parks lists nine unserviced campsites, showers, drinking water, firewood, flush toilets, firepits, and a playground on the campground page.

Activities include camping, front-country hiking, wildlife viewing, geocaching, hunting, and picnicking. The official page says off-highway vehicle use is not permitted in the natural area, and hunting is not permitted within the Kleskun Hill Campground and Museum site.

Wildlife and plant notes include grassland and parkland species such as western meadowlarks, upland sandpipers, vesper sparrows, prickly pear cactus, and wildflowers.
