This is a nice place that is near enough to Edmonton making it super convenient for day trips or…read moreweekends away from city life. Campground: Good variety of sites. RV, tenting, and they have yurt camping which looks amazing and it's on my list to try. Some sites are more difficult than others to set up a tent. The ground is just too packed down and rocky. And other sites I've been on haven't been an issue. Pit toilets and flush toilets. Day use area has the best cellular network connection. Depending on where your site is there is a high likelihood you won't have any. There is some sandy beachiness in the day use area, but you cannot swim in the lake. My favourite part is that it is a dark sky preserve. It's wonderful at night to watch the sky in the amazing quiet of nature.

Haven't been for a while. But a nice park to visit. Lots to do, often we go for a drive, and find a…read morenice place to hike/ walk.

LOVE love LOVE Grandin Pond…read more There are walking and bike trails that curve around the pond. Plenty of spots for great photo ops in the summer and even Winter! A few platforms to go out on the pond a bit. The city puts fish in here, too! So fish away! You don't even realize you're in the city when visiting this pond on the West and North end. My kids always love stopping here on our bike rides around town to take in the beauty and quack like a duck!

the place is very nice but there is no fish in that pond. In the winter, the water freezes all the…read moreway to the floor so there is no chance fish live there. Sorry to all the fisherman

This is a small pond located not far from the Mill Woods Library and Mill Woods Town Centre Mall…read more It is often referred to as "Hidden Pond" as you can't see it from the roads in the area. It is also a great little park and recreation area for the Continuing Care Centre and the condos in the area. The pond is about 5 meters deep and is a man made pond. If you are into geocaching there are 2 geocaches located in and around the park. There are also about a dozen more within easy walking distance of it. The pond has a few concrete viewing platforms to bird watch from and there is a paved trail around the park making it very accessible for people with mobility challenges. If you work or live in the area you should really check this place out. A great place to go for a walk or have lunch or just enjoy a nice quiet walk. If you want to check out a great little hidden park and pond in the City this is a great one!

I absolutely love this park/lake/walking path. Whatever you want to call it, I love coming here…read more It's beautiful, it's peaceful, and it's great for a walk or a jog. It reminds me of a gorgeous lake front park in Toronto, lots of wildlife and trees, some nice deck lookouts and spots to sit and take a rest or just sit and listen to the birds. I also did a photo shoot here in the fall, the pictures were gorgeous. I come here whenever I can, and when the weather is good.

Chickakoo Lake is such a gem! I visited here in a warm weekday afternoon in the fall and had a…read morewonderful time exploring the trails. There's a large parking lot for day hikers and picnickers, with clean washrooms and a some picnic table sites right on the water. There are a number of trail loops, all with fantastic signage and maps at every trail junction. Trails are ranked according to difficulty, with the advanced trail presenting some serious up and down hills to get your legs burning. The less hilly trails are great for families, and there are different lengths of trails depending on how much time you want to spend. The views of the different wetland areas along the trails were really beautiful, and we were even able to see a moose across one of the water bodies taking a drink. We loved hiking here for a couple of hours, and I saw some runners tackling the trails and hills - good for them!

How has no one written a review of Chickakoo lake yet?! This is an amazing multi use area just west…read moreof Edmonton. It has great trails of various lengths for walking, running, biking (off road trail use) and in the winter snowshoeing and some tracks for cross country skiing. You can also bring your horses here to trail ride as well. Keep in mind as I said multi use. They have information boards about local wildlife and plant life and boards throughout pin pointing where the trails are and their difficulty ratings. There is a lake you can fish in or just canoe or kayak on. Also available are above ground fire stands you can BBQ on. There is a playground for the kiddies and picnic tables available. Ample parking, camp ground style bathroom facilities as well. It's worth checking out anytime of year!
