North Saskatchewan River

Highlight • River

The North Saskatchewan River flows from the Rocky Mountains in Alberta through wide valleys, parkland, and cities before continuing east into Saskatchewan. It shapes the beautiful riverbanks, sandy shores, and forested ravines along its course, with trails and green spaces in places like Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, with plenty of easy access points to the water. The river supports a wide range of wildlife, including birds, fish, and other riparian species, while also serving as a key natural corridor through the landscape.

Trans Canada Trail: Makaoo–Edmonton

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Trans Canada Trail from Makaoo to Edmonton follows a scenic stretch of the North Saskatchewan River valley, connecting Fort Saskatchewan with Edmonton through a mix of paved and gravel pathways. The route passes through open river-valley landscapes, wooded sections, wetlands, and quiet viewpoints, with opportunities to spot birds and other wildlife along the way. Long but relatively flat, it offers a peaceful setting for walking or cycling while connecting communities through one of the region’s largest natural corridors.

Heritage Trails Park

Highlight • Trail

Heritage Trails Park sits in Fort Saskatchewan along the North Saskatchewan River valley and includes a network of gravel and paved trails connecting open grasslands with beautiful views along the banks of the river. The pathways connect into the wider city trail system, making it easy to walk or cycle through the valley, passing viewpoints, small gathering spaces, and restored natural areas. It’s an ideal place to take a break or enjoy a waterfront picnic and take in the view.
