Kinvig (56.9 km)
Kinvig, a 640-acre site located east of Elnora, Alberta, features a mix of wetland, grassland, and bush habitats. The property is home to a variety of wildlife, including white-tailed and mule deer, moose, waterfowl (including nesting Eared Grebes), and songbirds like Clay-colored Sparrows. Common plant species include Hawthorne, Thorny Buffaloberry, willow, gooseberry, and Aspen Poplar. The area has been regenerating since a fire and provides clear views from high hills, which make for easy navigation along game and cattle trails. Some wetlands and large lakes have been impacted by rising water levels, and parts of the site, particularly the hilltops and southeast corner, show signs of livestock activity. The site is accessible from Highway 352, as well as oilwell access roads, though some gates may be locked. For more information, contact Nature Conservancy Canada (NCC).
Access: Head east on Township Road 352 from Elnora, then south on Range Road 225. The site is 1.2 km ahead on the east side.
