Police Point Natural Area | Alberta

Police Point Natural Area is an Alberta Parks natural area in the North region, 40 kilometres northeast of High Prairie. Alberta Parks lists no developed day-use area count.

The official page surfaces birding, front-country hiking, and hunting as activities.

Why Visit Police Point Natural Area

Police Point is a low-service natural area for visitors researching birding, hiking, and hunting in the High Prairie region. Alberta Parks says more than 100 bird species nest here, including common goldeneye, mallard ducks, killdeer, spotted sandpiper, red-necked grebe, black tern, sora, and marsh wren.

That birding note is the strongest reason to know the site. The official page does not list a campground, developed day-use facilities, a marked trail network, boat launch, beach, or visitor centre, so expectations should stay focused on natural-area access and current conditions.

Hunting is listed with links to hunting in Alberta's parks system, Alberta Hunting Regulations, and licence purchasing. Hunters should confirm seasons, boundaries, and any local conditions before travelling.

For hikers and birders, plan with maps, weather, access conditions, insect protection, and wildlife safety. Because there are no developed facility counts listed, visitors should carry water, navigation, and a backup plan if access is unclear.

Bring insect protection.

Start early and travel lightly.
