CONNECT WITH NATURE The Red Deer region is well known for its remarkable trail system and its commitment to preserving nature and wildlife. It was here in Red Deer in 1924 that Alberta’s first federal migratory bird sanctuary was established on almost 118 hectares of protected land within the city limits. Today there are more than 100 kilometres of trails inside the city and almost 3,000 kilometres more in the region connecting communities and people with nature.

Trail Loops Ranch Loop – 7.5 km

Lions Loop – 5.5 km

Starting at Heritage Ranch and back via Bower Ponds and Taylor Bridge, the riverside setting provides a beautiful introduction to Waskasoo Park and a variety of leisure opportunities.

Lions Campground and back via Bower Ponds, Taylor Bridge and 48 Ave Bridge is located next to the river and trail system and near downtown.

Chief Loop – 10 km

From Heritage Ranch to the end of the trail north of Three Mile Bend provides trails along the river that offer abundant opportunities for wildlife viewing.

KERRY WOOD NATURE CENTRE

Adventures for All Ages In Every Season Whether you participate in a naturalist-led river rafting trip in the summer, join a guided snowshoe tour in winter or just explore on your own, Kerry Wood Nature Centre and Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary are a treat to tour in every season. Whatever your age, discover the power of nature to soothe your soul.

All Natural Adventures It was a sunny Saturday afternoon and my son and I buckled up our rented snowshoes and headed out into the woods behind Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

Always a favourite family stop, we have spent many fun hours visiting the small animals and displays in the nature centre and exploring the trails and the woodland of Waskasoo Park in every season. In winter we liked pretending we were trappers searching for animal tracks. In spring or summer we’d hide in the bird blind and be naturalists counting the different kinds of birds we saw in the Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary. Regardless of the season, it never feels like you are in the middle of a city when you visit this place.

Nature Playgrounds Children love walking along the trails in the sanctuary, participating in the naturalist programs at the nature centre and just being outdoors, but two new all-season outdoor nature playgrounds have made Kerry Wood Nature Centre even more fun. At the Nova Chemicals Imagination Grove, kids can climb on a giant spider web, slip inside a bear cave made from stone, walk on logs and learn about nature in an outdoor classroom. The Kiwanis Harmony Garden is an accessible interactive outdoor music park with wood and metal percussion instruments that allow children to share the joy of making musical sounds outside in nature.

Alberta’s First Federal Migratory Bird Sanctuary Red Deer region has a very active group of local naturalists that first became organized in 1906. Through their efforts, the generosity of the J.J. Gaetz family who originally owned the land, 118 hectares of land was protected and in 1924 this land became Alberta’s first federal migratory bird sanctuary.

Despite its protected designation, there were many threats to the survival of the bird sanctuary over the years and Kerry Wood, a noted naturalist and writer, was its greatest champion, constantly working with other local naturalists to maintain and enhance the sanctuary. When the City built a nature centre at the edge the sanctuary, it was fitting that it be named Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

Central Alberta Communities

Red Deer County Central Alberta has agriculture at its backbone and many of the over 9,100 farms surrounding the city of Red Deer are found in Red County.

Visitors are welcomed at many area farms where you can get eggs, honey, vegetables, fruits, meat, preserves, and cheese right from the farm gate or at a farmers’ market. Great agritourism attractions like U-Pick farms, corn mazes, sunflower mazes, greenhouses, antique shops and museums dot the peaceful countryside.

On a country drive you’ll discover rural attractions, historical sites, enjoy festivals and special events, and visit local farms to meet the producers and purchase food right from the farm gate. The list of participating producers and attractions is big, so you’ll want to download a map before you head out. countrydrive.ca Did you know that the “Shakespeare of Iceland” was an Alberta homesteader? Unable to sleep at nights, Stephan G. Stephansson wrote poetry in his native tongue and became famous in his homeland. Today you can visit his original homestead along the Scandinavian Trail. Other wonderful attractions include the Danish Canadian National Museum, the Dickson Store Museum, Historic Markerville and the Markerville Creamery. scandinaviantrail.ca Whether you enjoy boating, fishing, watersports or swimming, there’s a lake in Red Deer County that perfectly suits your purpose. The three major recreational lakes in Red Deer County are Pine Lake, Sylvan Lake and Gleniffer Reservoir.

Alberta’s largest non-mountain downhill ski resort is ten minutes east of The City of Red Deer in Red Deer County. There’s a snow tubing park, a terrain park and plenty of great runs to explore.

There is a diverse range of accommodation options within Red Deer County. Relax at a lakeside resort, explore the outdoors at a campsite or cabin, or unwind at a lovely country B&B.
