Dunvegan Provincial Park and Historic Dunvegan ( dun-VAY-gən) are a provincial park and a provincial historic site of Alberta located together on one site. They are located in Dunvegan, at the crossing of Peace River and Highway 2, between Rycroft and Fairview. The site was the location of one of Al
berta's earliest fur trade posts and missionary centres. The location of the original Fort Dunvegan is also a National Historic Site of Canada. It was built in 1805 by Archibald Norman McLeod and named for his family's ancestral home, Dunvegan Castle. The historic site consists of a visitor centre and four historic buildings staffed seasonally by historic interpreters. The campground consists of 67 sites with electrical hook ups, a day use area and playground. Dunvegan Provincial Park is jointly managed by the ministries of Alberta Parks (the campground) and Alberta Culture (the historic site). Dunvegan West Wildland Provincial Park follows the south bank of the Peace River west from this provincial park.
