 Hiking Trails
Boasting approx 23 kilometers of hiking trails, you will never tire of your options. There are also many trails for cross-country skiing and horseback riding. Five kilometers of the trails are paved. These trails are perfect for rollerblading, biking, and will also accommodate wheelchairs.
 Cross Country Skiing
In the winter season, trails becomes one of Alberta’s finest cross country skiing venues. Because many of the trails are located along the southern slope of the valley, this allows protection from the sun. As a result, the ski season can last longer than expected at times.
 Bird Watching
The Vermilion Provincial Park is home to more than 100 different species of birds. Included are Owls, Canada Geese, and Great Blue Herons. You may also spot white-tailed deer, porcupines, and squirrels roaming about in their natural habitat.
 Fishing
The park features the Claude N. Brennan Memorial Trout Pond. A paved walking trail circles this man-make lake. Take a rest on one of several benches and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Trout can be caught and cleaned on site at the fish hut.
 Camping

The Vermilion Provincial Park is a popular spot for those who love to camp. Our campground has all amenities you’d need to enjoy overnight camping. This park features 98 camping spots (some wheelchair accessible) as well as group use areas. Electrical hook-ups, a sewage dumping station and picnic shelter are also available. Additionally, two shale ball diamonds, several soccer fields, a splash park and a mini-golf course all add to the camping experience.
 CN Train Station
A distinctive feature in the park is the fully restored CN train station, used for community and private functions.
Snow shoeing is a popular sport enjoyed by many park visitors.
