The Trans Canada Trail from Makaoo to Edmonton follows a scenic stretch of the North Saskatchewan River valley, connecting Fort Saskatchewan with Edmonton through a mix of paved and gravel pathways. The route passes through open river-valley landscapes, wooded sections, wetlands, and quiet viewpoints, with opportunities to spot birds and other wildlife along the way. Long but relatively flat, it offers a peaceful setting for walking or cycling while connecting communities through one of the region’s largest natural corridors.
