The Rocky to Nordegg Rail Trail in Alberta opened as a 109km multi-use route tracing the historic Canadian Northern Railway from Nordegg to Rocky Mountain House.
Construction started in 2012 with Alberta committing $8.5 million in 2018 to develop trails, bridges, and staging areas along the route.
The trail offers a quieter experience than Banff and Jasper, with opportunities for paddling, fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing along a relatively flat route.
The Taunton Trestle Bridge, a 220-meter iron structure along the route, has been renovated and redecked with a viewing platform added in 2025.
Travel Alberta officials describe the trail as a human-paced nature experience that could draw visitors for multiple days.
Nordegg’s mining heritage sites, including the Nordegg Discovery Centre and Brazeau Collieries Mine National Heritage Site, offer historical context along the trail.
The route provides access to Abraham Lake, Buffalo and other natural features, with wildlife such as elk and moose common in the area.
The project aims to attract multi-day visits by diversifying activities like biking, hiking, and guided tours.
Local residents praise the trail for revealing Alberta’s lesser-known pioneering history.
