Great walking, cycling trail
Peaceful path, lovely river views and a great way to see some nature inside the city. Ran into very few other people - but may have to chalk that up taking a mid afternoon hike on a weekday.
Great walk easy and not busy!!
Easy to wail, beautiful river and DT view if you walk to the university side.
Near heavy traffic on the north side of the river and the south side of the river was covered in ice and snow. Trail won't be clear until mid May/early June.
The access to stairs was excellent!
Lovely walk.
RIP Hunter's Hat lost on blue bridge
good trail takes about an hour to complete
Easy if you're walking. Not so easy if you're running with the elevation changes(unless you like that kind of thing) and unpaved trails on the south side
Not an easy loop lots of different paths to take and is confusing!
Awesome trails and hidden paths throughout the whole valley. Most of the better spots are south of the river. Nicest part of Edmonton in my opinion.
Always nice especially in the fall.
Absolutely amazing trails along the entire South and North side if the River going through the city! 3 types of trails from technical single track, cleared dirt/horse trail to paved trails! All with
beautiful views of the river x 4 seasons!
Check out the "goat trails" mostly made by the mountain bikers. They are the best hidden secrets.
