This multi-user trail starts from just south of the Banff Springs hotel, and runs along the side of the Spray River, crosses the river and comes back on the other side. The Goat Creek trail starts near the crossing point. This should really be described as 2 separate trails to conform to Parks Canada usage. Spray River West (on the west side of the river) allows bikes most seasons, but restricts bikes (not even fat bikes) during winter. Spray River East remains fully multi-use including fat biking in Winter.
