3 Best Hiking Trails in St. Albert, AB

It’s such a nice area! There’s tons of wildlife, especially different species of birds. There is a lot of parking and once you get inside the trail area, it’s a wetlands so there’s a boardwalk to walk across the water. Keep an eye out for different animals swimming and flying around, you never know what you’ll see! It’s pretty secluded for the most part and after the boardwalk the trail branches off to a paved road which takes you to different lake areas. I recommend going in spring-fall seasons, there’s not much to see in winter.

Literally in my backyard and first time here. What a beautiful way to connect with nature. Excellent trail with wooden boardwalk and the information along the walk is very informative. Could spend all day out here and an awesome place to bring the kids and teach them about conservation and protecting the environment. Think il be spending alot of time here.

Walkways are set up in an excellent fashion to preserve wildlife. Ran into a ranger and he was very friendly. Amazing view of lake, marshland around the lake, ducks, starlings, and so much more. This area doesn't seem overrun with people, but the wildlife behaves very used to people.

Very nice park. It’s clean and trails through it that are paved and accessible. It’s a smaller part but that’s okay. Lots of picnic tables and benches to sit on. There is washroom facilities here and are clean and well lit. Walking in the summer and skating and cross country skiing in the winter. The trails through the park are part of the trail system that runs along the Sturgeon River for several kilometres. Right next to west is the St Albert Botanical Park and to the southeast is the River Lot 56 Natural area. Great park to visit and enjoy a relaxing stroll or picnic.

Great place to ski for all ages/ levels. I haven’t been cross country skiing in almost 30 years and started on beginner trails to slowly advancing. You can ski an easy trail in 20 minutes and simply progress to different trails that are more advanced. Trails are excellent and well maintained and the air fresh & crisp.

Beautiful park with lots of open areas to play, picnic, indoor bathrooms, and common area. There are tons of Frisbee golf traps, too. It's the head of the red willow trail system that takes you through the river valley and beyond out to Big Lake and the Lois Holes center, lots of stops and veiw points along the way.
