You can witness the beautiful aurora here; once the sky is dark, gaze upwards and wait. It is not always visible, but when the sun is active, there’s a possibility you’ll witness a dazzling show of dancing lights in the sky. Even if you don’t see these lights, definitely several stars are still visible, more than you ever would in the city, and will also see the Milky Way with ease.

You must rent a canoe or kayak and paddle on Clear Lake to see the spectacular scenery and look for migrating birds as they pass through the park. While you could pass a massive beaver dam, and soaked in the warm sunshine. Many canoes might have stashed away on other lakes in the park, so ask Parks Canada staff where you might locate them.
