Alberta releases 2025 Trail Guide

Jul 21, 2025 | 4:47 PM

The Government of Alberta has released its 2025 Trail Guide, a comprehensive document aimed at helping Albertans plan their next outdoor adventure.

“Public land use trails are a big part of what makes Alberta special. These trails give visitors a chance to get outside, explore our province’s natural beauty and enjoy everything from hiking to camping,” says Todd Loewen, Minister of Forestry and Parks.

“As an avid outdoorsman, I know the value of connecting with nature and enjoying Alberta’s backcountry, and this year’s guide makes it easy for everyone to spend time outdoors.”

The guide features trail-management partners from across the province, helps visitors connect to the outdoors, suggests new recreation activities and provides safety tips and trail etiquette to help everyone enjoy the outdoors safely and responsibly.

The guide, which can be viewed here, was first published in 2023.

There are about 7,000 kilometres of provincially designated trails in Alberta.
