Sherwood Park Natural Area

Highlight • Forest

Located just east of Edmonton, Sherwood Park Natural Area protects 68 hectares of mixed forest, meadows, and wetlands connected by a network of looping trails. It’s a quiet escape for walking, running, or birdwatching, with interpretive signs and benches scattered throughout. The area is especially peaceful in early morning or after rain, when the forest floor comes alive with birdsong and fresh pine scent.

Reg Gray Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The main trail through Sherwood Park Natural Area, the Reg Gray Trail forms a looping route through dense aspen and spruce forest. Boardwalk sections cross small wetlands, and side paths link to shorter loops for an easy outing of varying lengths. It’s a flat, family-friendly trail that showcases the park’s mix of forest and open glades year-round.

Olive Grey Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A peaceful lookout within Sherwood Park Natural Area, Olive Grey Viewpoint features a rustic bench carved from a tree trunk and a serene view over the surrounding forest. It’s a quiet spot to pause mid-walk, listen to the sounds of nature, and take in the calm scenery. Whether you’re hiking the loop or just stopping for a break, it’s a simple but rewarding place to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Original Survey Marker

Highlight • Historical Site

Tucked quietly along the trail, this small historical marker marks the site of an original 1904 survey peg from the Old Edmonton Trail. Many hikers pass by without noticing it, but it’s a fascinating reminder of the region’s early mapping and settlement history. Take a moment to stop and imagine the surveyors who once charted these same forested paths more than a century ago.
