Why Visit Pembina River-Moon Lake Natural Area

Pembina River-Moon Lake is a natural area for visitors researching hunting access, river-bank habitat, wetlands, and dry mixedwood landscape near Evansburg. Hunting is the surfaced activity, with links to Alberta hunting information, regulations, and licence purchasing.

The park-management section gives the main natural features. Alberta Parks places the site in the Boreal Forest - Dry Mixedwood Natural Region and says it contains Moon Lake, Pembina River bank, lowland flats, uplands, and oxbow lakes.

Wetlands and old channels are found in the lowlands and adjacent to Moon Lake.
