Good access to the river valley trails. Fairly steep in sections, so it's a good workout for your lungs on the way up or your knees on the way down!

Great addition to the River Valley Trail system, connecting Downtown and Louise McKinney Park to Muttart Conservatory and Gallagher Park.
Tip by
Fort Edmonton Park
Highlight • Historical Site
Major tourist attraction in Edmonton, which takes visitors through the history of Edmonton, from the establishment of Fort Edmonton to 1920 street. Period buildings and guides dressed in period costumes round out the experience.

Mill Creek Ravine
Highlight • Gorge
A nice off-shoot from the River Valley trails, and a good connector to points south-east in the City. Millcreek Ravine comes up at the Argyll Velodrome.

Fort Edmonton Footbridge
Highlight • Bridge
Very scenic and extremely useful bridge for crossing the North Saskatchewan River. Beats trying to swim across.
Tip by
North Saskatchewan River at Hawrelak Park Footbridge
Highlight • River
Very handy foot bridge to get from Hawrelak Park to Buena Vista Park. It can get very busy at times, owing to the popularity of both parks.
Tip by
River Valley Trail Section
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
A nice section of Edmonton's River Valley trail system. Looking forward to the day when hopefully a footbridge will cross the river from here, to connect with the trail going from Sherwood Park to Fort Saskatchewan.
