Treebeard Trail

A steep, winding loop among some of the park's oldest white spruce and balsam fir trees.

Route overview

Treebeard Trail in Saskatchewan.

Treebeard Trail climbs steeply through mature white spruce and balsam fir forest. The short distance understates the effort: tight bends, roots, and grade make it a deliberate forest hike, while the old trees provide the route's defining character.
