Waterton Bison Paddock
Huge herds of bison once roamed the plains of Alberta in numbers of up to an estimated 60 million in the 17th century. Due to excessive overhunting and a steady loss of habitat, they are now listed on the province's endangered list. Just a short distance north of Waterton Lakes Nation Park on Highway 6 is the Waterton Bison Paddock, where a protected herd of rare Plains bison is kept for viewing as a reminder of their legacy as well as in attempt to aid in increasing their population size and advance their species.
Address: Highway 6 Waterton AB
