This flowy gravel path winds through the trees past abandoned buildings, golfers, lakes, and swampy ponds.

Access Info

Follow the main road through Nordegg past the town and into the South Subdivision. You'll travel through a newly developed street before being forced to take a right. Continue up the hill and take the trail on the right just before the overhead rail crossing.
