Sherwood Park Natural Area

We went for a hike here this afternoon. It was great to get some fresh air in nature. We even walked on the Old Edmonton Trail for a little detour. The trail is a little hilly and can be a bit challenging in places if you have some limitations to your mobility but overall a nice easy hike just outside of Sherwood Park.

I would recommend this trail if you like some what flat ground with a few tree roots showing but also secluded to most people. I plan to come back one summer brings out the green. Pros: - Good Parking. - Lots of small wildlife. - Trail was not overgrown or extremely narrow. Cons: - I expected a lake/pond at Olive Grey Viewpoint from satellite view but it was just a marsh. - No garbage cans throughout the walk but there was also no garbage on the trail.

Great walk for beginners or families. It is a place I go to when I want to feel like I am out of the city, but don’t have time. I’ve seen various wildlife from moose to frogs and birds. There are areas to sit on the path and a look out also.

There is busier than I thought, if you want some quiet time for yourself, maybe its not a right place for you. You will pump into some people, but not too bad. I went there in weekdays, I think there will be much busier during weekends. View and atmosphere are pretty awesome, with a loop of trails; also some horses trails, and for dogs are leash-on.

Was a lovely place to go for a walk. So close to town but felt I was a million miles away. Very peaceful, a good place to recover your Zen.
