Alberta has a floating boardwalk with an impressive view of nearby islands & wildlife

Spring is in full swing, summer is just around the corner, and with the sun in the sky, you might be looking for your next adventure!

Big or small, there are some incredible places worth experiencing in and around Alberta, but the Living Waters Boardwalk is perfect for wanderers seeking a great view.

Located on Astotin Lake less than an hour east of Edmonton, this 400-metre loop is surrounded by trees, a marsh, and little islands that look incredible at dawn and in the evening.

In addition to the landscape, it’s also worth noting the animals you might see along the way.

From birds and beavers to fish and frogs, the area gives life to creatures of every shape, size, and habitat in the water, sky, and on land.

What’s more, it’ll only take you around 30 minutes to complete, so you’ll be able to take your time and even check out the rest of Elk Island National Park, a Wild Rose must-visit no matter the season.

Wear comfortable shoes and don’t forget a snack!

It’s a short one, but there’s truly no place quite like it.

Happy walking!
