Little Red River Park Winter Walking Trails
New for 2025 - in addition to the trails mentioned below, we have added a whole new loop on the North East side of the park. This trail used to be the East Poplar ski trail. Now the ski trail has been created on the inside of the walking trail loop. You will see signage to help you navigate. The loop itself is 3.8km winding it's way through the poplar forest. Thank you to the Rock n Road Cycling club who are grooming the trail in the winter months for your enjoyment.
Did you know that Prince Albert Nordic Ski Club grooms over 7km of winter walking trails at Little Red River Park? All the walking trails are on-leash dog-friendly. You will find signage along the way to help with navigating or download the Winter walking trails map.
• Parking Option #1 at the North end of 6th Avenue NE
Here you will find generous parking and a few options for which trail to take. You can easily spot the Walking Trails on the East Forest Trail as a gorgeous archway will greet you. This trail is wide and groomed. Walk east for 1km and then take the loop back to the parking lot. Or, keep going north to Kristi Lake and take the sand road for a longer 3.1 km loop back.
Another option is the West Forest Trail for a 1.3km loop. This loop is a nice meander and quite flat. It is narrower (not machine groomed). You will find this trail head just north of the yellow gate.
• Parking Option #2 at the Cosmo Lodge
Here you will easily spot another Walking trail archway which will immediately challenge you for a steep climb up the hill heading north. At the top, you are rewarded with a great view of the Kinsmen Ski & Snowboard Hill and the Cosmo Lodge. You have the option of going east for a 1.7km loop on the Multi-use trail through the forest. You may spot skiers or cyclists on this trail. The trail is wide and groomed. Your other option at the top of the hill is to take the 2.5km Plains trail which is a bit more open and gives you a few more options… a loop to the East or to the West with a connect on the east side to the Multi-use trail.
These trails offer a chance to get out in nature after just a short drive from the City of Prince Albert. Within a Covid-safe distance, you will see a lot of smiles out there and perhaps might find yourself with a big smile too!
