North Saskatchewan River

Just upstream of the Fort Edmonton Footbridge is a beautiful long sandbar. One of the North Saskatchewan River's hidden gems, the long sandy beach is perfect for swimming under the right conditions. Many people enjoy walking to the upstream tip of the sandbar where they enter the water and swim or float down to the other end of the beach. There are no amenities and no lifeguard on site.

Access the footbridge and sandbar via Fort Edmonton Park or Westridge Park and Wolf Willow Ravine.
