Other Trail Systems
in Central Alberta
Several communities in Central Alberta have developed trail systems and
more are being planned. Many will be part of or linked to the Trans
Canada Trail.
The largest and best known trail system is in the City of Red Deer,
much of which is in Waskasoo Park.

Other extensive trail networks have been developed in Innisfail, Lacombe, Ponoka,
Sylvan Lake and
Wetaskiwin.
A 3.4 km trail also links the town of Bentley with Aspen Beach at Gull
Lake along Highway 12.
In the planning stages is a trail linking Spruce View, Dickson and
Glennifer Lake.

The Benefits of Trails
1. Quality accessible, safe and low cost recreation opportunities so
members of our communities may experience the benefits of recreation
and active living.
2. Sense of belonging and pride in our communities, reducing crime
and vandalism, increasing community involvement and stewardship.
3. Environmental awareness, the preservation of natural green spaces
and special areas for future generations.
4. Opportunities for economic diversification and development.
5. Cultural heritage and promotion of cultural harmony.
