The snow has packed itself in for the season, which can only mean one thing: it’s snowshoeing time.
Snowshoeing is one of the best and most practical ways to travel on deep snow, which, frankly, is quite common in Edmonton. It’s the perfect outdoor activity for the Alberta winter, especially for those wanting to get some fresh air. It’s a popular activity in the city and out, and we understand why.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the best spots to go snowshoeing in and around Edmonton this winter, just for your convenience. All parks in Edmonton allow snowshoeing, but there are some places better than others. So, without further ado, let’s get into it!
