Little Red River Park

1200 acres of natural area is located north of the North Saskatchewan River. Little Red River Park is known for it's beauty and serenity, while still within the city limits. The park is open year round and provides trails for bikers, hikers and skiers, depending on the season. There are two areas, the Lower Plains on the banks of the Spruce River and the Upper Plains. Both have great trails, flowers and an incredible ecosystem including Jack Pine forest and boreal plains. The Park is a great destination for family outings, wiener roasts, weddings, annually hosts the Pine Needle Bike & Music Festival and was home to the 2019 Canadian Archery Championships.
