From this access point you head down a steepish single-track southwards. Once you’re on the river bank the trail options open up: for a short loop head west on the wooden walkway to climb up MacKenzie Ravine and into Crestwood. More options appear as you near Buena Vista/Laurier off leash area, with access over the bridge to Hawrelak Park, trails up into Parkview or continue past the zoo to get to Quesnell bridge. There is also a very poor trail north towards Government House Park after the first steep downhill. This is best only attempted after a dry spell, or sustained cold, as it can get very boggy and there is a significant risk of slumping (the city has attempted to “close” this option).
