ELK ISLAND NATIONAL PARK Elk Island National Park , Canada ’ s first federal wildlife sanctuary , was established in 1906 to protect elk populations . Today , it is home not only to elk but also to bison , moose , deer and more than 250 species of birds — including trumpeter swans , a threatened species that the park now protects . Though the park is a popular destination for hiking , canoeing , camping and other recreational activities , many visitors come specifically to enjoy and learn about the park ’ s conservation efforts . A Bison Backstage Tour is even available to those who want to learn about all the care and work that goes into maintaining the herds that roam the park . Interpretive signage and plaques can also be found along viewing platforms and common areas . Last , but certainly not least , is Elk Island ’ s team of conservation experts , who work with visitors and behind the scenes to ensure that guests have a safe and inspired visit . Open year-round .
