This easy trail runs through the Sioux Narrows Provincial park and is free to use if you park your vehicle at the aspen trailhead on Dubois rd. (Where the trailing tail is), otherwise, there is a daily use fee for parking your car at the beach (Bottom left of the trail) which is a great access point too. The left section of the trail is on a road with multiple options for you to hike back to the beach park, or the parking area at aspen trailhead. There is a scenic loop at the south end (Shown). The trail is very easy to follow and partially on a paved road through the heart of the park. The Trail is open from sunrise to sunset and is groomed in the winter for cross-country skiing.
