Grasslands National Park (Parc national des Prairies in French) is one of Canada's newest national parks and is located in southern Saskatchewan along the Montana border. The park is part of the Canadian Protected Heritage System, which aims to protect representative areas of Canada's 39 natural regions. Grasslands National Park represents the Prairie Grasslands natural region, protecting one of the country's only remaining areas of undisturbed mixed prairie grassland. The unique landscape and harsh climate provide niches for several specially adapted plants and animals. The park and surrounding area house Canada's only black-tailed prairie dog colonies. Other rare and endangered species that can be found in the park include the pronghorn antelope, sage grouse, burrowing owl, ferruginous hawk, prairie rattlesnake, and eastern short-horned lizard.
Glacial meltwater erosion formed many of the park's characteristic features. Highlights of the park's geological landscape include the Frenchman River Valley, the 70 Mile Butte, the Killdeer Badlands and Rock Creek.
In 1874 Sir George Mercer Dawson discovered western Canada's first dinosaur remains in the Killdeer Badlands during the International Boundary Survey. Later, in 1877, Sitting Bull took refuge in the area with around 5000 Sioux after the defeat of Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
At the present time there are no camping facilities in the park, though wilderness camping is permitted, and there is an interpretive centre located in the nearby town of Val Marie.
