Big Hill Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, about 40 kilometres (20 mi) northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It features a series of springs and small waterfalls that flow year-round over rocky terraces covered with a lush growth of mosses, shrubs, and grasses. The park also includes the ruins of a historic fish hatchery and Alberta's first commercial creamery. The main activities at the park are hiking, picnicking, scenic viewing, wildlife watching, and photography.
