SaveIn 2016 Nordegg was voted one of Canada's best adventure towns by Explore magazine with its largely unspoiled countryside, crisp mountain air, and crystal blue waters. The trail network is shared by hikers, bikers, ATVers, and horseback riders alike, so pay attention to the trail type. You'll find a little bit of everything -- from rugged alpine singletrack, to high-speed gravel paths, steep cutlines, and loamy flow trails.
