Landowner Rights & Trail User Responsibilities

The Waskahegan Trail is a unique resource that exists only because of the generosity of landowners. Before you set foot on the trail:

  1. Know the landowner rights and the trail user responsibilities.
  2. Check the trail conditions

St. Albert Riverside Trails

by

Twenty-one hikers came out on a beautiful sunny day to hike the trails along the Sturgeon River in St. Albert.

The trail is notable for its smooth, wide paths, public art, and pedestrian bridges.

With some ice still on the river, the Canada geese have the perfect place to hang out undisturbed. Currently they are sharing the water with small flocks of Common Goldeneye ducks.

Goldeneyes are cavity nesters, relying on forests that contain dead, standing trees. These ducks would find plenty of nesting space in the nearby forests of Lois Hole Provincial Park, Riverlot 56, and the Grey Nuns White Spruce Park.

We had our lunch outside the Good Earth Café, in the warm spring weather.

Thanks to Terry for scouting and leading the hike. You can find more photos on Flickr.
