About the Journey

This superb urban trail loop takes advantage of a variety of greenways, city parks, and ecological settings.  A good place to start is in the parking lot at Swan Lake.  The highlights are Swan Lake, the Blenkinsop Bridge on the Lochside Trail, and the Centennial Trail. It connects with the Trans Canada Trail and takes in its alternative, the Lochside Trail.  It is equally interesting going clockwise of counter-clockwise.  Allow 5 to 6 hours.  If you choose to cycle it, you will be asked to walk your bike where bicycles are not allowed to be ridden (allow 2.5 hrs).
