Sunohara (71 km)
Sunohara is a 153-acre site located west of Ferintosh, featuring upland, riparian, and wetland habitats. The area is home to wildlife such as moose, mule and white-tailed deer, coyotes, porcupine, striped skunk, red fox, and waterfowl. Birds like the Great Horned Owl, Clay-colored Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, American Robin, Least Flycatcher, Song Sparrow, and Sora have been spotted here. The landscape includes trembling aspen, balsam poplar, and white spruce, with an understory of wild raspberry, chokecherry, and beaked hazelnut. The dense undergrowth can make walking challenging, but easier-to-navigate grassland areas are found further in. Livestock may graze in the area during certain times of the year, and access is via Township Road 440, just past Lone Prairie Camp.
Access: From Bashaw, head north on Highway 21, then west on Township Road 434. Turn north on Range Road 214, then left onto Township Road 440. The site will be on your left after 4.4 km.
