Clifford E. Lee Natural Area

Clifford E. Lee Natural Area in Spruce Grove offers peaceful wetland and upland trails, giving visitors easy access to nature and wildlife viewing. This protected natural area features cattail-sedge marsh alongside sandy upland habitat, forming part of the Canadian Nature Federation’s Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary. It safeguards the outlet channel of the sanctuary’s main wetland, creating a quiet refuge for birds and other wildlife. Visitors can explore the area on foot in summer, following trails that reveal shifting views of open water, reeds and dry, sandy ground. In winter, the same landscape transforms into a cross-country skiing destination, offering a gentle way to enjoy fresh air and open prairie skies.
