The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Edmonton, Canada

January 14, 2022 Alida England

As North America’s northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a city that’s never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent’s biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival.

Patricia Ravine Trail

Reviewed By 17KAG - Edmonton, Canada

We have been walking the trails in the Edmonton River Valley for 40 years and this has become our favourite hike, spring, summer, winter and fall. Parking is on the street up top and you hike down a steep hill towards the path along the river. Views are tremendous, as is the birdlife. You can end your trip at the Fort Edmonton footbridge and double back. Or you can extend it by going across this bridge to the South side of the river and through the Riverbend neighbourhood to Terwillegar Park. Once in Terwilligar you have more options, but we chose to circle back through the floodplain and back up Patricia Ravine to our car.
