The PNT is named for Strawberry Creek which flows northeast from the site into the North Saskatchewan River. This NA is approximately 3 km northwest of Pigeon Lake.

[FP, MEDIUM DUE TO LINKS] [HT: This description of Strawberry Creek watershed by the NWSA is dubious in my view. How can Whitemud/Blackmud be in the Strawberry watershed? During my visit I noticed that the area drains south towards Pigeon Lake, not towards Strawberry Ck. I actually believe the NA is just outside of the Strawberry Ch watershed. How to handle controversies like this?]

Other Information

Strawberry Creek is one of a number of creeks that flow north towards the North Saskatchewan river. [HT: However it appears that the NA is just outside Strawberry Creek watershed.]Within the larger watershed itself, most of the landmass is covered by forests or has been developed for agriculture. The main economic base is oil and gas extraction and agriculture, including both beef and dairy cattle [1].

Riparian Assessment conducted for Strawberry Creek in 2002 showed most of the sample areas – 62% – being healthy, 24% were healthy with problems, and 14% scored unhealthy. The only major problem noted was the presence of the noxious weeds Canada Thistle and Scentless Chamomile [1]. [HT: This paragraph seems not relevant]

Cree Translation. Strawberry Creek is a translation from the original Cree [2]. Private land surrounds the PNT [3].

The Pigeon Lake Provincial Park sites and Mount Butte Natural Area are to the southeast and south respectively.
