Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary is dedicated to providing educational programs regarding wolves and wolfdogs in order to foster a greater understanding of the importance of preserving wild wolves in the natural environment, as well as providing rescue and safe sanctuary to wolfdogs that have been neglected, abandoned, or otherwise displaced. They provide visitors with a unique opportunity to interact with their wolfdogs and learn about them.
Guided Tours: A 45 minute visit to the sanctuary allows visitors to come right into the enclosures and interact with the wolfdogs. This is a great opportunity to learn the key differences between wolves and dogs, and dispel some of the many myths surrounding wolves and wolfdogs. It also gives visitors a fantastic photo opportunity to photograph the wolfdogs without obstructions.

Great place for boating and waterskiing in the summer. Picnics along the top of the bluff are a local favourite. There is walking access to the water's edge via a steep path.
Fishing, boating, picnic area. Skating and winter car rallies are held here once the ice is thick. There is ice-fishing, as well. Great place to spend an afternoon.
