Guidebook for Edmonton
Parks & Nature
A beautiful trail network, located just 500 meters from the house! Just walk East on 80 Avenue to the end of the street- there you will see a trail heading down to the right.
This park has a main paved trail, but also lots of side dirt trails good for mountain biking, running, and exploring!
From this trail you can get to Mill Creek Ravine Pool, Muttart Conservatory, and almost any other park in Edmonton!
You will likely run into your hosts out on a run or a bike ride somewhere in these trails :) Let us know if you would like to go for a run together!
