Looking for somewhere magical to go for a stroll this fall? Bundle up and stretch your legs, because in Elk Island National Park, you’ll find an Alberta boardwalk well worth the visit.
Located on Astotin Lake, the Living Waters Boardwalk is a 150-metre loop that only takes about 30 minutes to complete, but offers some incredible views and is a great way to get some fresh air.
Here you’ll be surrounded by trees, a marsh and little islands that are extra scenic as the sun sets and rises.
