Policeman’s Creek Boardwalk

You can access this scenic trail from downtown Canmore, near the Big Head sculpture. Follow a 3.9-km boardwalk that runs alongside Policeman’s Creek and you’ll pass ponds with ducks swimming, and a forested areas, with songbirds singing. Keep your camera handy as you may even spot elk or deer. This is an easy route that works for all skill levels, but since the boardwalk connects with the town’s trail system, you can switch to a more ambitious route if you have the gumption.
