Due to its naturally stunning vistas, the Castle Provincial Park was recognized by nature preservationists.
Naturalists first found this park to be a unique ecosystem a place to study as it is the habitat of many unique species such as the Whitebark Pine and Limber Pine, which are endangered trees protected under the Wildlife Act of the Ministry of Alberta's Environment and Sustainable Resources.

The first landscapes of the Waterton and surrounding areas were painted by military artists Charles Wilson and James Madison Alden.
Because of the vantage points offered by the peaks in the Waterton Lakes National Park and Flathead Valley, portions of the Castle Provincial Park were featured in the background of Alden's paintings.
