Discover Tilley: Nature and Local Experiences

Tilley combines local recreational and dining options with nearby nature experiences. Nearby Tillebrook Provincial Park is outside the town. When planning your stay, you can distinguish between attractions in Tilley itself and activities in the surrounding area.

Nature and Birdwatching

Tillebrook Provincial Park has hiking trails and a disc golf course; more than 150 bird species can also be observed there. The park is therefore a destination for outdoor activity and birdwatching. The wider area around Tilley has numerous reservoirs and wetlands with waterfowl, as well as many shorebirds seasonally. Undisturbed grasslands in the area are home to populations of sparrows and larks. The park and the wider area offer different nature experiences: trails and disc golf are in the park, while wetlands and grasslands provide additional habitats nearby. The information about seasonal abundance of shorebirds can help you plan your travel dates and birdwatching together.

Camping and Getting Around

Tillebrook Provincial Park has a campground with 85 sites. The Tilley Campground is separate: it is five minutes from Highway 1, next to the ball fields and directly south of Dinosaur Provincial Park. It has sites with electrical hookups. If you include these facilities in your plans, confirm their current status before your trip. This makes it possible to distinguish between the two campgrounds by location and the stated site features.
