Recreation Notes

Birding: the mosaic of habitats in this natural area attracts a variety of bird species, a number of which reside here year-round including hairy owl, downy woodpecker, great horned owl, northern saw-whet owl, black-capped chickadee and white-breasted nuthatch.

Hiking: there is year-round hiking on this area's trail system (3 km developed trails); the "Old Edmonton Trail", a wagon track used in the early 1900s by people travelling between Edmonton and Cooking Lake, passes through the natural area.

Wildlife viewing: white-tailed deer are common here, and moose are occasionally seen; coyotes, snowshoe hare, porcupine and red squirrel are often observed as well.
