Queen Elizabeth Territorial Park is located at the eastern end of the Wood Buffalo Route, close to the centre of the community of Fort Smith, gateway to Wood Buffalo National Park. There are trails around the park, and to the Slave River & Rapids.

Operational Season:
Queen Elizabeth Territorial Park is open from May 15th to September 15th. Trails within the park may be accessible on foot outside of those dates, but they will not be maintained clear of snow, and so you enter at your own risk. Services such as toilets and garbage removal are not provided outside the open season.

To book a camp site, please refer to the link provided on this page.

Fort Smith Mission Historic Park is all that remains of the original 151 acre / 61 hectare Oblate Catholic Mission in what is now the centre of Fort Smith.
For a period of a century between 1876 and the early 1980's, the Roman Catholic Church operated its mission to the entire western arctic from here. In the absence of any government school system at the time, the church opened and operated schools across the north, which at that time included all territory north of Edmonton.

The Oblate Mission maintained a Bishop's Residence, St. Isodore's Church, assorted sheds, repair shops, a hospital with associated nun's residence, a residential school, large fields for the growing of crops, and even an airstrip. Nearby, the church operated docking facilities on the Slave River for their Mission boats, a farm, and sawmill.

The park provides an extensive self-guided tour of the historic mission sites, with sign boards describing various aspects of the history and activities of the mission. You can still see:

* The Bishop's residence, built in 1911
* The Cathedral
* The fields that were cultivated, some of which have been restored
* The storage shed
* The carpentry shop
* Vehicle repair shop
* Machine shop
* The hospital building that was built in 1952 to replace earlier structures
* The Grotto
* The sites of several other buildings that have been removed.

Facilities available including:
- swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna
- gymnasium with equipment for floor hockey, volleyball, badminton, soccer, and basketball
