Good hill if you are local to Grande Prairie and want to run out for a quick ski. The hill is north facing in the Wapiti River valley, can be cold and windy both down and up.

The main problem with this campgroud is the fact that it is always jam-packed with locals on the long weekends as... More

Nitehawk is definitely a unique all season attraction. Being right along the Wapiti River it definitely has a great view and is super close to O'Brian Park, if you like photography bring a camera. The campsites are roomy and private. And the ski and bike hill are great for beginners, if your an advanced skier it isnt for you though.... More
