Part of Edmonton’s river valley system, MacTaggart Sanctuary is a protected natural area of dense forest, wetlands, and the winding Whitemud Creek. Trails from nearby neighbourhoods like MacTaggart lead directly into the sanctuary, offering peaceful paths with wooden bridges, boardwalks, and chances to spot birds and deer. It’s one of the city’s most tranquil green spaces, ideal for an easy hike that feels far removed from the urban surroundings.
