The 135 km maintained trail system known as the Birchwood Trails, creates endless opportunities for community members to enjoy the outdoors right in Fort McMurray. You can walk, run, bike, cross-country ski and inline skate through the natural beauty of the urban trail system consisting of asphalt, gravel and natural trails throughout the Boreal forest.
Plan your next adventure using the Birchwood Trails Map. Please note, Raven Bridge is temporarily closed due to safety concerns. The bridge is expected to be repaired by the fall of 2021. Please follow all posted signage and detours in place.
The trail system is located between the neighbourhoods of Thickwood, Timberlea and Dickinsfield with numerous access points. Don't know where to start? Begin exploring the Birchwood Trails from the Doug Barnes Cabin, located beside 190 Tamarack Way.
