Activities for children

Elk Island National Park is a beautiful place to give children the opportunity to explore nature. There are three trails under 4 km in length: Amisk Wuche, Lakeview and Beaver Pond. The Living Waters Boardwalk is a 400 m floating sidewalk off the shore of Astotin Lake.

In the Astotin Lake Recreation Area, children can enjoy the playground and the beach. Explore further with a free discovery kit from the Astotin Theatre. Fully prepare for each activity to have a safe, enjoyable and memorable visit. See the map of the park for locations.
