1. Hinton Bike Park

This park has everything for all skill levels and features a diverse trail system that is surprisingly remote and difficult. Be sure to read the maps and Trailforks.com to find the best trails and access to downhill trails. The skills park is great for kids (locals often have birthday parties here). It's also just a nice place to hike and explore too. If you're a visitor with some extra time be sure to also visit the Brule bike park! If you're travelling to Edmonton also check out the Velosolutions pump tracks that Yellowhead County built along Highway 16 (Marlboro, Peers, Niton, Wildwood and Evansburg) For those looking for more core mountain biking visit the local bike shop (Vicious Cycle) and ask staff to direct you to the Hinton Nordic Centre for the Froehler Coaster trails. As always bring bear spray for chance encounters with bears and cougars. It doesn't happen often but it does happen.

This is a St Albert hidden gem.The total walk extends for several miles on both sides of the Sturgeon River, though most days I (and my wife) walk the south side for half a mile, have a coffee, and walk back home. Total activity 45 min. The trail is well-used by joggers, cyclists, and other strollers. It is kept clear of snow in winter by superb maintenance crews and borders for the most part a natural riparian vista: geese, ducks, the occasional heron (yesterday), muskrats and beavers abound!

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada
This is a popular destination for locals, Calgarians and visitors wanting something fun to do and see, but not wanting to drive too far. It's only a 45 minute drive from Calgary on good roads. The paved parking area has been beautifully expanded, with several extra pit toilets and lots of benches to use to sit and put on your gear. And there is truly something for everyone! On our recent visit mid-November, we saw mountain bikers and fat-tire bikers, trail runners, snowshoers, walkers, hikers and large family groups out for a stroll. There were even a few cross-country skiers, but there wasn't enough snow to groom the trails - skiers should always consult the web site for trail conditions. On this visit, we started with snowshoes, but there wasn't enough snow even for that, but enjoyed a good workout and excellent views using our micro spikes on our 9 km hike.

Family Owned and Run bicycle shop. We restore and sell vintage bikes, classic style commuters and rent! We are open Thursday- Monday, but happy to come meet you down at our shop any day of the week just call, email or text us. 12 h notice is ideal for the weekdays we are not open! The goal is simple. We want you to have a huge smile on your face when your done riding one of our bikes. We get whether you are visiting or just don't have a bike, rental bikes seem worn, used and unloved. Ours are different with daily checks and weekly maintenance to make sure memories are made on these classic city cruisers!

A hidden gem within our community that NEEDS more recognition! A great way to stay active with the whole family. Great for any level of mountain biker. There are numerous trails within the town limits and the park itself is amazing! Beautifully planned. The only thing I would add is an approach off the highway leading into the park.

A series of paths used for recreational purposes.
Reviewed By coldbike
These are some of the best recreational pathways I have seen anywhere. I have biked and walked many of them, and they are all different and all enjoyable. From Forest, to prairie, to river bank, to inner city, these paths have it all.

Sept.9/18 a group of three of us did this hike in 3 hours with a 20 min stop at the top. 360 degree views at the top of mountain ranges and barrier lake on one side and prairies on the other. This hike is suitable for all ages - we passed people ranging from 5-70 year old, and lots of friendly pups! The trail is wide the whole way except the last 30 metres. Fantastic hike!

Great hike! Easy access and well marked. I came here after work to get some forest time and enjoy the spring weather that finally arrived. I was the only one on the trail, relaxing and very enjoyable. Not a far drive from the city and well worth the drive.
