SUMMARY:Wood Bison Trail (Elk Island)
DESCRIPTION:We are going to take advantage this summers “Canada Strong Pass ” which gives everyone free access the the NationalParks\, including Elk Island\, from June 19th to September 7th. \nWe will meet at the Wood Bison parking lot (south of the Yellowhead & the road along the fence for ~½km\, not through the main park entrance) at 9:45 a.m.\, with the hike leaving at 10:00. We’ll then follow the “Wood Bison Trail ” (trail 11) with lunch along the trail and continuing to the parking lot. The hike is a bit on the longer side (~16km) but relatively flat.  Pictures from August 20th\, 2017. \nFun bison facts – \n\nElk Island represents the southern extent of the historic range of Wood Bison and the northern extent of the Plains bison range. So\, this is an area where the two subspecies naturally co-existed.\nWood bison are the largest land animals in North America\, weighing ~900 Kg or ~1 ton. They are bigger than plains bison because they consume a lower quality diet that is composed of plants that are not easy to digest. The larger amount allows for a larger digestive tract to allow the wood bison to get the most out of these poor food sources.\nDuring the calving period so keep your eyes out for little red calves. Also\, don’t be alarmed if the females look skinny and sickly. They are recovering from the winter and giving birth.\nIf the bison are be shedding (contributing to their sickly appearances) – keep your eyes out for clumps of fur\, sometimes they even shed in “mats” which can be 1-m long. If you find some it is very soft.\nBison are classically thought of as grazers (eating just grasses and sedges)\, but during the spring they take advantage of the highly nutritious and easily digestible new growth on shrubs\, trees\, and herbs. So\, if you see the bison pay attention to what they’re eating.\nIf you want to challenge yourselves\, it’s possible to tell the difference between winter and spring/summer dung paddies –\n\nSummer dung is in a large wet mound or completely flattened\nWinter dung is rounder like a loaf of bread and may come apart in sectionsThe difference arises from the bison eating fresh\, wet plant material in the spring/summer but eat dead grasses and sedges in the winter. The dried bison dung paddies are great fire starters and smell amazing. \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 94-95\, or contact the Hike Leader Johanna F. by email or call 780-298-4119. \nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\nAugust 2017\nMay 2019

SUMMARY:Gwynne Section
DESCRIPTION:The huge valley starting at Gwynne and containing the Battle River as it flows eastward across Alberta\, was created in a few days. At the end of the last ice age\, glacier water trapped by ice formed huge Lake Edmonton. The water finally broke through the ice at Gwynne and the whole lake emptied\, creating the magnificent valley we will overlook. The pictures from May 4th\, 2025. \nThe hike will leave from A57 on Highway 822 at about 10:00 a.m.. Participants should proceed there directly on their own\, but should check the website prior to departure in case of a change. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:North Miquelon - A86 (Former Store) to A85 (Miquelon Park)
DESCRIPTION:The hike will start beside the site of the former store (A86)\, initially going past a new pond that cut through our trail\, then on to St. FX Lookout\, Erickson’s Curvert and into Miquelon Provincial Park where we’ll stop for lunch at one of the campsites. The beavers are always active around the new pond\, so the first ¾km may have some deadfall to step-over\, even within hours of trail maintenance\, but after that it will be smooth sailing. Pictures from May 11th\, 2025. \n\n\n\nThere is limited parking at the trailhead so we’ll meet at the parking lot at the Spilstead Community Hall at 9:45. (~3km from the away). To minimize the number of vehicles near the trailhead we may carpool from the community hall & we’ll leave from the community hall promptly at 10:00.  \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 70-71\, or contact the Hike Leader\, Helen W.\, at 780-884-3097. \n\n\n\nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\n\nMay 2025\n\n\n\nSeptember 2024\n\n\n\nApril 2023\n\n\n\nAugust 2022\n\n\n\nAugust 2020\n\n\n\nJuly 2017\n\n\n\nJuly 2016

SUMMARY:Ministik Bird Sanctuary (A88 to Fire Tower)
DESCRIPTION:Surprisingly\, this is a hike we rarely do through the Ministik Bird Sanctuary that continues on past the ‘Ball Berg/NCC’ section going to an old fire tower. This is of course a good chance to see birds\, including waterfowl\, as well as beaver. A small camera with a zoom lens or lightweight binoculars would be handy. The pictures from September 12th\, 2021. \nWe’ll meet from the trail head on Township Road 510 (just under 1 km west of the Range Road 210 junction) at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A88’ (UofA Access) at 10:00 where we will go past several small lakes towards\, including what many maps list as ‘red chair lookout’. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:South Miquelon (A84 towards ‘D’)
DESCRIPTION:The Miquelon Lake is another one of those interesting trails in the Miquelon/Ministik area that had once all been underwater\, resulting in pockets of trees on some higher ground (had been islands) and alley ways (where the water was). “Ministik” means island in Nehiyawewin (Cree). \nWe tend to follow the ‘blue’ route around the edge of Miquelon Lake and into the park where we hooked up with the park trails before looping back via the ‘yellow’ route. Don’t forget to look for the old rusted out car near the first field. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head beside “A84” where Township Road 491A (Rabbit Run Road) meets Range Road 203\, at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A84’ at 10:00. The pictures from August 27th\, 2023. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:Northend Saunders Lake (A29 to A30+)
DESCRIPTION:Always good late summer hike along Saunders Lake (berries ?)\, from the northland (A29) to to a little past A30. Hopefully with the start of the bird migration and great for nature lovers. The hike will be ~10km. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head beside at “A29” along Range Road 244A (at the bend in the road ~100m after “Rig Hand”) at 9:45 a.m.. \nNote: there has been a change to where we can park. Please park in the longer grass on the east side a little further down the road (closer to ‘Rig Hand’). Do not drive on or park on the cut grass near the gate where we typically park. \nThe hike will leave from ‘A29’ at 10:00.  Rig Hand is open until 14:00 on Sunday so some of us may drop in for a quick drink  after the hike. The pictures from August 31st\, 2025. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:Battle River (A60) to Schnee Hill
DESCRIPTION:This hike of 10.4 km is along the stunning Battle River. This huge river valley was created at the end of the last ice age when the melt water that created Lake Edmonton broke through the ice and drained the huge lake in just a few days. The pictures from May 24th\, 2026. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be starting from the “A60” at about 10 a.m. From Highway 13 take the ‘South Bittern Lake Road’ for 5½km – “A60” is ~300m after crossing bridge just before turn going back uphill. Please park before the row of trees\, ~200m from the bridge (without blocking the farm road) to allow vehicles to make it through the turn safely. \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:East Battle River (Duhamel) to Rest & Be Thankful Hill
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally this was our first out of town hike of the season & a glorious way to start spring … and for the past few years we’ve also added it to our fall schedule\, providing another chance at an out of town hike before winter hits. \nThe hike follows the Battle River east towards Stoney Creek and Camrose. It starts by following the river\, low in the valley across open grassland\, but eventually winds its way up out of the valley\, stepping over a field of crocuses\, then into woods and gulleys\, and ending at the top of “Rest & Be Thankful” hill. There we stop to eat our lunches\, thankful for the spectacular views. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head Duhamel (Ross Flats) Campground (at Range Road 212C just off Highway 21 & the campground is no longer in operation). The hike will leave from ‘A62’ at 10:00. The pictures from October 26th\, 2025. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes web page for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 52-53\, or contact the Hike Leader\, Mary M. (780-608-0593). \n\n\nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\n\nOctober 2025\n\n\n\nOctober 2024\n\n\n\nOctober 2023\n\n\n\nOctober 2022\n\n\n\nOctober 2021\n\n\n\nOctober 2020

SUMMARY:Devon Voyager Park / Lion’s Campground - Tentative
DESCRIPTION:This week’s outing makes good use of the Devon trails along the south side of the North Saskatchewan River. The trails climb up and down\, in and out of the river valley\, making for a more challenging hike than we might be used to on other city trails.

SUMMARY:East Battle River (Duhamel) to Rest & Be Thankful Hill - Tentative
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally this was our first out of town hike of the season & a glorious way to start spring … and for the past few years we’ve also added it to our fall schedule\, providing another chance at an out of town hike before winter hits. \nThe hike follows the Battle River east towards Stoney Creek and Camrose. It starts by following the river\, low in the valley across open grassland\, but eventually winds its way up out of the valley\, stepping over a field of crocuses\, then into woods and gulleys\, and ending at the top of “Rest & Be Thankful” hill. There we stop to eat our lunches\, thankful for the spectacular views. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head Duhamel (Ross Flats) Campground (at Range Road 212C just off Highway 21 & the campground is no longer in operation).

SUMMARY:Gwynne Section - Tentative
DESCRIPTION:The huge valley starting at Gwynne and containing the Battle River as it flows eastward across Alberta\, was created in a few days. At the end of the last ice age\, glacier water trapped by ice formed huge Lake Edmonton. The water finally broke through the ice at Gwynne and the whole lake emptied\, creating the magnificent valley we will overlook. \nThis hike offers a medium-level challenge. There are several ups and downs and some interesting stiles\, but also a good amount of flat land. The pictures from May 4th\, 2025. \nThe hike will leave from A57 on Highway 822 at about 10:00 a.m.. Participants should proceed there directly on their own\, but should check the website prior to departure in case of a change. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:West Battle River (A57 to Schnee Hill) - Tentative
DESCRIPTION:A wonderful section of the trail along Battle River\, going east from Gwynne.  It has a little bit of everything\, including passing by what used to be the historic Low’s Crossing (well historic from a WTA perspective). Checkout Gene Miskiw’s “The Battle Bridge Story” with loads of pictures he’s shared with us at the AGM a few years ago (“The Battle Bridge Story” and more). Unfortunately\, the combination of age & changes to navigable water regulations forced us to remove it\, which Karen Bell documented as “A Bridge too Far”. A sad day for us all\, but a reminder to the dedication and ingenuity of the original WTA members. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head “A57” on Highway 822 (bend near the top of the hill after the tracks & river) at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A57’ at 10:00. The pictures from May 18th\, 2025. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

Starting with a living relic from Canadian history (Fort Ethier from the time of the 1885 Riel Rebellion) and a close-up look at an alpaca farm\, followed by shaded cliff-top views of Bigstone Creek and sun-filled stretches close to the water\, what’s not to like? Expect to stop at a special spot for lunch and a rest. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head beside Fort Ethier (“A48”) at 9:45 a.m. (parking at the landowners farm just off near the remnants of Fort Ethier … BTW: Google Map – Fort Ethier is actually ~600m closer to the creek & on the other side of the road). The hike will leave from ‘A48’ at 10:00. The pictures from August 13th\, 2023. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.
