Did you know that the Trans Canada Trail water route in northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories travels through Wood Buffalo National Park? Established in 1992 to protect the endangered wood buffalo, Canada’s largest national park is now home to the world’s largest herd of free-roaming bison and the world’s only natural nesting site of the whooping crane.
UNESCO designated Wood Buffalo National Park as a World Heritage Site in 1983.
