​Located in the East Block of the Grasslands National Park, just west of the small community of Killdeer, the Rock Creek Badlands are part of the Wood Mountain Plateau. This vast, eroded landscape reveals millions of years of geological history and features free-standing buttes, deeply eroded hillsides, hoodoos and fascinating formations. The area offers a variety of hiking trails and amazing scenery. Contact the Rock Creek Visitor Centre ​at the Rock Creek Campground for directions to best viewing areas. 

Traverse the scenic Badlands Parkway, a seasonal 11 km, single lane paved road that rises and falls along an escarpment with westward views across a wild prairie expanse. Six unique viewpoints overlook the grasslands and badlands of Rock Creek and highlight the special features of the East Block of Grasslands National Park.

Grasslands National Park

Aug 12, 2025 to Aug 16, 2025

Spend a day uncovering the secrets of ancient dinosaurs during Fossil Fever at Grasslands National Park's - East Block, beginning at Rock Creek Campground. The Badlands were the site of one of the first discoveries of dinosaur fossils in Canada, and scientists today continue to unlock the mystery of a time when prehistoric creatures wandered the jungle on what is now the Canadian Prairie. As part of the five-day Fossil Fever event August 12 to 16, small groups get a hands-on lesson as they accompany a crew of paleontologists from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum on a day’s dig. Wild scenery, lunch in the badlands and five hours of finding hidden gems such as fossils are all included in your Fossil Fever registration. Spend the evening with the paleontologists during Fossil Talks as they share their adventures. Space is limited. Ages 6 and up. Pre-registration is required by calling the Visitor Centre at 1-877-345-2257. Registration opens January 27, 2025.
