Boardwalk with handicap access. We saw 2 beavers in actionat dusk. Well worth a visit. Ask a local for directions.
Easy walk, pretty. Nature is gorgeous & I believe large parts of the path is wheelchair accessible. Nice stroll

Switzer Park is a year round adventure playground that really flies under the radar. Best known for Jarvis lake and it’s campgrounds under official Provincial Government operation, it might be even better known by locals for the outdoor recreation opportunities offered by volunteer groups. Winter provides a truly world class cross country ski area at the Nordic Centre which catches and retains snow more effectively than other centres in the Province. Really challenging terrain with easy options for beginners offer sometimes for everyone (classic and skate). There is also a fun little toboggan hill. Please support the volunteer operations with donations/memberships, positive feedback or by writing letters of support to the Province. Summer hosts access to incredible mountain bike trails. Pedal into Joachim Valley and the new cabin for the easiest family adventure (still remain bear aware and prepared for mud and adverse weather conditions). The more advanced blue/black diamond bike trails reside in/out of the Park, namely the Froehler Coaster system. Check the trails out on the trailforks app. Otherwise, explore the wildflowers and strawberries along the Nordic trails, paddle Jarvis creek, hike the Athabasca Tower lookout trail and try some non-service camping at Graveyard Lake. When in doubt, ask a local for advice and reach out to bikehinton dot com and hintonnordic dot ca. Remember, write those letters of support!

More than 100 years ago, idealistic pioneers of all descriptions – from trappers to tie hackers, railroaders to miners, businessmen to bootleggers - carved a home in Edson out of what was little more than a firm place in the muskeg. Our museum offers a fascinating glimpse into our region’s natural world and the pioneer life.The Travel Centre provides plenty of information for the curious traveler, has knowledgeable staff, an internet kiosk, free Wi-Fi, a coffee bar and a gift shop featuring local art and crafts. Although there is a fee to enter the museum, the travel centre and other amenities are free to all.
