| Hiking Trails |
| Boasting approx 23 kilometers of hiking trails, you will never tire of your options. There are also many trails for cross-country skiing and horseback riding. Five kilometers of the trails are paved. These trails are perfect for rollerblading, biking, and will also accommodate wheelchairs. |
| Cross Country Skiing |
| In the winter season, trails becomes one of Alberta’s finest cross country skiing venues. Because many of the trails are located along the southern slope of the valley, this allows protection from the sun. As a result, the ski season can last longer than expected at times. |
| Bird Watching |
| The Vermilion Provincial Park is home to more than 100 different species of birds. Included are Owls, Canada Geese, and Great Blue Herons. You may also spot white-tailed deer, porcupines, and squirrels roaming about in their natural habitat. |
| Fishing |
