Take a Walking Tour of Our Town!
Rediscover Athabasca: historical gateway to the north
Riverfront
Stroll along the Rotary Riverfront Trail, read interpretive
signage about early river and rail transportation, boat building and
boat builders, Metis and Cree river trackers, natural history, area settlers,
and commerce at Athabasca Landing.
AHS Site
The Heritage Site, under development, is the 
fenced
area west of the tourist booth. The site exhibits will explain the natural
and human history of the riverfront. Key to the project will be the interpretation
of the role of Athabasca Landing as transportation and commerce hub for the
northern trading rivers, and the role of the First Nations, Metis, British
and European residents who worked together at the Landing.
Trans Canada Trail
This multi-use trail (under development) includes parts of the historic Landing
Trail (south of town) and the Peace River Trail (north of the river) from
Sawdy to Moose Portage. Travellers may alsoj use the water route along the
Athabasca River northeast to the Arctic Ocean. Additional information available
at the tourist booth, or contact Christine Onysty.
Muskeg Creek Nature Trail
Whether you cross-country ski, hike, jog, bird watch, or walk, discover the
natural history of a mixed-wood boreal forest on the Muskeg Creek Nature
Trail. Located on the west side of town, the Trail connects to the Rotary
Riverfront Trail and to Athabasca University .
The Muskeg Trail begins near Muskeg Creek Chalet and Landing Trail Intermediate
School.
