Trails

The City of Camrose takes pride in our exceptional surroundings and extensive outdoor spaces and trails. Natural corridors provide a picturesque backdrop for the city’s Urban Park System – over 30 km of interconnected, paved, multi-use trails and many other shale passages for running or walking. The area offers the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as the trails offer an outstanding natural setting for hikers and mountain bikers.

Trail Etiquette

• PLEASE SHARE THE TRAILS - The trails were established for a wide variety of user groups. All users, including those accompanied by pets on leashes, should stay to the right of centre and use only half the width of the pathway. Ride single file, except when passing.
• KEEP PATHWAYS CLEAR - Please move completely off the trail when stopping. There are benches provided for your convenience.
• BE CAREFUL AT INTERSECTIONS - Slow down and look both ways and behind yourself before crossing road and trail intersections. Pedestrians always have the right of way.
• BE SEEN AND HEARD - Ensure your visibility at night by wearing light-coloured clothing with reflective material. Outfit your bicycle with lights, reflectors and a bell.
• WARN OTHERS WHEN PASSING - When approaching other cyclists or pedestrians from behind, shout out a friendly “hello” or “passing on your left.” Alert, don't alarm. Sound your horn or bell early and pass safely. Do not pass on the right.
• BE ALERT - Watch for hazardous conditions or vandalism and report to the City of Camrose. Be sure the trail ahead is clear of obstructions such as overhanging or fallen branches. Be aware of sharp bends in the trail, bridge crossings, intersections and hills.
• KEEP YOUR TRAIL SYSTEM CLEAN - Garbage receptacles are provided throughout the park system. If you are walking pets, we ask that you kindly carry proper equipment to clean up. Bags are provided throughout the trail system.
