A short, easy walk through a slough at the north end of Golden. The hike is best suited for those with an interest in waterfowl.

Trailhead
The trailhead is the green bridge.

Trail
Cross the bridge and follow the gravel trail. The middle section of the trail often has water flowing across it. And just so you know, this trail is officially “Cooper Alfred Road.” It does see some bicycle and ATV traffic, as it is a route to downtown from the Anderson Road area. The trail ends by the spot where Anderson Road meets the TransCanada Highway.

Cautions

• Parts of this trail can be very wet underfoot, especially in the spring.

Locate the RCMP detachment on the north end of Golden on 11 Ave. N and proceed past it to the end of the road. Park here (there is a concrete bridge and parking area).
