  2 km loop, no elevation gain (35 – 45 mins.)
  

This pleasant woodland loop winds through a white spruce forest, along the banks of Forty Mile Creek. It's a favorite spot for dog walks (on-leash please), and wildlife and nature discovery, year round.

Local runners often follow this route for an easy trail interlude on their way from the townsite out to a longer workout on Vermilion Lakes Road.

An interpretive trail guide brochure is available at the trailhead parking lot, keyed to interpretive panels placed along the trail.
