Edmonton’s River Valley Parks system is one of the largest urban park networks in North America — over 90 miles of trails through the North Saskatchewan River Valley, with William Hawrelak Park‘s lake and meadows a good spot before you set off. Fort Edmonton Park, on 158 wooded acres along the river valley, recreates the city’s history with a recent Indigenous Peoples Experience exhibit. And if the weather turns, West Edmonton Mall — 48 city blocks with a waterpark, an amusement park and an ice rink — is one of the largest malls in North America.
