Description
Dillberry Lake Provincial Park is located along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border in east central Alberta. The landscape is represented predominantly by undulating to hummocky terrain with slopes ranging on average from 2 - 20%, and occasionally as high as 75%, overlain primarily by coarse glaciofluvial and eolian sediments of Pleistocene origin. The northern part of the Park consists of glaciofluvial ice contact landforms marked by numerous pothole lakes (or kettles) which typify knob and kettle terrain. In the southern part, these coarse deposits have been reworked by wind creating eolian sand dunes, which for the most part have stabilized over time. Currently, active blowouts are evident in some areas amongst the dunes. Small areas of coarse to fine lacustrine sediments are found exposed around the shorelines of lakes located in the Park.
