Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park

High Above the Prairie

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park sits on a rise about 600 meters (1,970 ft) above the vast Great Plains between Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Bypassed by retreating glaciers during the last Ice Age, the Cypress Hills are the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador.  

Here, first-time visitors are surprised to find lodgepole pine forests and rugged mountain-like terrain.  It's the "must see" stop along any cross-Canada tour, with many reasons to return and keep exploring. 
 

Four Seasons to Enjoy

There is something unique to discover here in every season - from the over 700 species of plants and orchids bursting to life in spring to the trophy fishing, interpretive programming and guided walks in the summer.  

Witness a dramatic landscape painted in fall colours or trek by snowshoe through the snow-blanketed woods during winter.

The First Interprovincial Park in Canada

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park spans the borders of two provinces, with three governments cooperating in the management of this unique geographical feature and ecosystem.

In 1989, Cypress Hills - Saskatchewan and Alberta - joined forces and created Canada’s first Interprovincial Park. The Interprovincial Park Agreement was amended in 2000 to formally include Fort Walsh National Historic Site.
