Chimney Coulee is named for the stone chimneys remnants that stood for years long after the cabins of a Metis settlement had fallen down. The Chimney Coulee Historic Site, located north of Eastend, has been used for many things over the years including a winter camp by Metis bison hunters, a Hudson's Bay trading post established in 1871 by Isaac Cowie, a North West Mounted Police post and as ranch land from 1902 - 1918 by rancher Corky Jones. It is now a quiet, deserted coulee filled with pine trees, saskatoon berry trees and whispers of ghosts from the past. Small parking area and interpretive hut on site.
