If you could greet each day in the most magical way possible, Cold Lake Provincial Park during spring and early summer would be the place to do it. That’s when you’ll hear the spectacular dawn chorus of the many different songbirds that call this park home—like Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Chipping Sparrows. The mainly pine and spruce forests provide the perfect environment for nesting.
The park is also home to more than 200 bird species, including a significant variety of waterfowl. When you’re not being woken to the beautiful sounds of birds defending their territory and attracting mates, you can enjoy a hike through the nine kilometres of forest and meadow trails.
Looking for Franklin’s Gulls, Western Grebes, Ring-billed Gulls, Red-breasted Mergansers or Greater White-fronted Geese? You’re likely to find these birds at Cold Lake.
