Where: Queen Elizabeth PP
Details: Due to low water levels and deteriorating conditions of the launch pads, the boat launch is not to be used to launch boats with trailers anymore. Proceed with caution and use it at your own risk. Canoes and kayaks can still launch in this area.
Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park is found along the shores of Lac Cardinal, 3 km north and 5 km west of Grimshaw off Hwy. 35. Take a hike or go mountain biking along the shore and through the shady boreal forest trails. Use the hand launch to enjoy the lake from a kayak, canoe or small watercraft. Lac Cardinal's shallow waters cannot support a fish population, but its abundant vegetation is ideal habitat for waterfowl, making for great birdwatching. Over 140 species of birds and other wildlife that have been recorded in the park.
