Devon’s Prospectors Point Park – Tentative

While not part of the Waskahegan Trail, we will take the Devonian Trail from Twp 512 by Hwy 60 to Prospectors Point Park on the river. The pictures from March 31st, 2019.

Funded in partnership with the River Valley Alliance, the County’s newest trail is almost complete. The 6km trail spans from Prospectors’ Point to the University of Alberta Botanic Garden (formerly the Devonian Botanical Garden).

We will start at the non-boardwalk section at Twp 512 (Banksiana Road) off Hwy 60 (Devonian Way) at 9:45 and go east by acreages and through the woods turning south to the river. Please park close to the ‘super mailboxes’ on Twp 512 to avoid traffic coming off Hwy 60. We travel high in the hills along the river to Prospectors Point Day Use Area at Hwy 60 where we have lunch before returning.
