Hiking
Fenland Trail
The forested oasis of the Fenland Trail is only just removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff, though it feels a world away. The interpretive trail makes a gentle 2 km loop along creekside paths with storybook wooden bridges. In the company of old-growth spruce trees and chirping birds, you can feel the beating heart of Banff National Park.
From the Fenlands trailhead, a short section of paved sidewalk joins up with the Bow River pathway leading towards downtown Banff.
