Mactaggart Sanctuary Path Length 2.3 KM Loop
Get to know this 2.3-km loop trail near Edmonton, Alberta. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 34 min to complete.

Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
Although this trail is fairly short and has little elevation gain, it can be quite rugged, with many small hills and rocky and muddy sections.

The trail has some markers and is worth the trip during any time of the year.
