Policeman Creek Trail — Attraction in Alberta

Canmore is a walking city, so Policeman's Creek Trail is a sort of 'connector' to the various trail heads, as well as an easy going, wide and level pathway located right in the village center.

Main Street and Railway Avenue is where you will find the trailhead entrance to the Policeman's Creek trails. Bikes are not allowed on the boardwalk section of the trail.

Parking is on the street anywhere you can find it and its free. Be sure to notice the Big Head Sculpture.

The trail is flat and easy and makes for a nice evening or...
