River Valley Trail Maps

A Compelling Vision

The Parks Branch takes pride in our river valley and trail system, enhancing Edmontonians' quality of life through first-rate leisure and recreational opportunities. Along with our partners, we strive to ensure the river valley and trails are accessible and enjoyable for residents of all ages.

More than 160 kilometres of river valley trails are now more easily navigated with help from a new series of maps aimed at improving access and experiences for trail and park users in Edmonton. The maps below highlight the areas of the river valley that fall within the following River Valley Alliance (RVA) planning zones:

1. Gateway to the West
2. Nature at Its Best
3. Valley Attractions
4. City Centre
5. Valley Parks
6. Big Valley
7. Valley Heritage

Map Features

Designed to support mobility for all, these maps provides information on trails and trail slope or grade (degree of steepness) in order to help users plan and select trails and routes to best suit their needs.

Paved trails in the River Valley Parks are 2.5m to 3m wide asphalt surfaces with a yellow centre line.

Other trails are granular (non-paved) with rough gravel surfaces and may not be appropriate for wheelchair users without assistance.

Check the legend to see which symbols designate paved and non-paved trails.

Grades are identified on the map as:

• Moderate: Grades of 5 – 9%, will challenge some users with reduced mobility, especially in longer sections. For comparison, a well built wheelchair ramp is about a 6% grade.
• Difficult: Grades of 10% and greater, are challenging for most users and require good skills and fitness regardless of your mode of travel.
• Grades of less than 5% are not indicated on the map — changes to slopes are generally gradual and should not be a challenge to most users.
