Beaver Hills Biodiversity Trail

Beaver Hills Biodiversity Trail, located near Uncas in the Edmonton region, offers an easy forest and wetland walk where travellers can spot local wildlife. This historic Strathcona County trail winds through mixed-wood boreal forest and hummocky moraine shaped by retreating glaciers, showcasing some of the most distinctive terrain in the Beaver Hills Biosphere. Visitors can slow down and listen for birds, watch for signs of beavers and other animals, and experience wetlands created by these natural ecosystem engineers. A picnic area, boardwalk and lookout make it simple to linger and take in the flourishing biodiversity. The lookout is especially suited to bird-watching, while the boardwalk keeps feet dry as guests move through the wetland environment and enjoy the changing seasons in this protected landscape.
