The Cypress Hills gently rise 600 metres above the surrounding prairie landscape of Southeastern Alberta, just 45 minutes from Medicine Hat. This elevation gives the small community of Elkwater the perfect environment to enjoy trails and wildlife. Within the park, you will find lodging and facilities to accommodate your stay.
