Plateau Trail

Plateau Trail, located in Elkwater in the Historic Plains region, offers a gentle 2.6 km hike with varied scenery for an easy nature escape. The trail meanders across open grassland on the Cypress plateau before slipping into stands of aspen and lodgepole pine, giving walkers a changing backdrop in a short distance. Its modest length and rolling terrain make it approachable for most visitors, including families and casual hikers looking to stretch their legs. As a connector between Horseshoe Canyon Trail and Mitchell Creek Trail, it also works well as part of a longer outing. Travellers can link routes to extend their time outdoors, explore different viewpoints, and tailor the experience to their energy level and schedule.
