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

South Saunders Lake hike

by

Twelve hikers came out on a sunny spring day to hike the South Saunders Lake section. The wind was blowing hard and constant at the start, but it subsided within minutes as we got closer to the shore and past some trees.

The path is dry and very easy to walk, as always. It was still too early to see signs of new growth. But the birds are there. Several times we would turn a bend in the lake and startle a flock of bufflehead ducks. Overhead, a hawk soared and screeched at us.

It was great to be walking in the country again. Thanks to Stella for scouting and leading the hike, to trail maintenance for their work, and to the landowners for their continuing permission. There are more photos on Flickr.

St. Albert Hike – with a twist

by

Eight walkers (and one mammoth) came out to walk St. Albert’s extensive trail system.

Our incredible journey covered 100 million years of history. This history included ancient seas, bison hunts, European contact, and creating metro-Edmonton’s preferred (in my opinion) bedroom community.

If you want to do the same walk, or if you have visitors and you’re not sure where to take them, you can follow the same route. Visit NW – St. Albert Historical Tour | YEG Ville. 

Thanks to everyone who came out for this great hike, and to the City of St. Albert for all their work on maintaining the trails.
