Proposed Alberta Recreation Trails Program
Recreation trails are a vital part of Alberta’s past, present and future. To promote the successful and sustainable growth of recreation trails while limiting the negative effects of unmanaged recreational land uses, the Government of Alberta is currently developing a provincial recreation trail program for Alberta.
If a program is implemented, a system of designated recreation corridors and trails would:
- respond to Albertans’ wishes
- promote economic development, tourism and rural diversification
- encourage healthy lifestyles
- enhance environmental protection
- align with other land uses and objectives
- support volunteer sector efforts
- honour our history and our historical investments
