Come explore Lethbridge's River Valley.

The City of Lethbridge is in the process of updating the Lethbridge River Valley Parks Master Plan. The plan will set out a long term vision that will describe the value of this community asset and will guide how the river valley is used, balancing the preservation of the eco-diversity and the desire for residents to enjoy the use of the river valley.

Bull Trail Running Timelapse - Lethbridge, Alberta

This 9.31KM running route in Lethbridge, Alberta is where to find natural trails, man made trails, and urban pathways. It is a mostly flat running route with one large 1500 meter uphill section. Some of the notable route sections encountered include:

Bull Trail Park
Located on the west side of Lethbridge just off of whoop-up drive is Bull Trail park, which features both man made and natural trails leading from the upper coulees of the west side that stretch down into the river valley. The trail taken in this route also runs under the massive iron rail bridge that gives Lethbridge its name. Large sections of these trails were under construction the year that this timelapse was taken.

Elizabeth Hall Wetlands
The flat section of this trail run in the river valley runs through the Elizabeth Hall Wetlands nature preserve. The red shale trail runs through a large pond teaming with wildlife such as ducks, beavers, geese, and garter snakes. This trail loops around to other side of the pond (not pictured) where the Bridge Valley Golf course is situated.

Bridge Drive West
The largest paved ascent within Lethbridge at the time of this video, it is one large 1500 meter long asphalt roadside trail that takes several twists and turns before reaching the west side proper.

University Drive West
This urban pathway loops back towards whoop up drive and has several intersections with lights that may interrupt your run. This path also links up to the 30km Coal Banks Trail which you can follow the long way around to add another 10km to your distance before returning to the starting location.

Pavan Park Equestrian Trail Run | Lethbridge, Alberta

Located within the city limits of Lethbridge, Alberta (1km north of Uplands.) Pavan Park is a large wilderness park area spanning the Old Man River valley, and stretching up into the Coulees towards the highway.

Note: The trails in this valley are prone to flooding in rainy and winter seasons, and the eroded Coulee trail is dangerous in wet conditions. Please use caution when using this trail outside of dry seasons.

This trail run follows the city maintained equestrian trail used by stables housed at a nearby farm across the highway. The path starts from the upper parking area and follows the top of the coulees to a beautiful descent with full view of the Pavan Park valley below. After a slightly rugged descent, the trail switches into a relatively flat shale trail that follows the river and eventually loops back into rougher horse trails again.

For the final ascent, I chose to show off the other primary option of getting into the park by taking the paved road, which is a solid 700m of roadside paved asphalt leading back up towards the starting point at a constant gradual ascent.

Webinar : To conserve and protect: Implementing the Alberta Wetland Policy

In 2013, the province released a new Alberta Wetland Policy to conserve, restore, protect and manage Alberta’s wetlands to sustain the benefits they provide to the environment, society and the economy. Municipalities are important partners in implementing this policy given their role in land use planning and water management.

During the webinar, Thorsten Hebben, Section Head of Surface Water Policy for Environment and Parks provided an update on implementation of the policy and how municipalities can support its implementation. Michael Barr, Alberta NAWMP Coordinator introduced a new project to advance wetland stewardship in Alberta through municipal engagement.

Lethbridge Dust Storm April 27 2013

A year or so ago, the fire raged through our Western side of town, and passed narrowly between Coalhurst and Lethbridge. With the grass burning off, the topsoil is now free to flow into Saskatchewan. This is how it must have been during the Dirty 30's.
