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. It is suited to wheelchairs and strollers. Birdwatching is a popular pastime here as waterfowl are numerous during certain times of the year and are visible from the boardwalk section of the trail.

Great way to spend an afternoon to walk off your...

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