WILLMORE PARK
Willmore Park Trail Map
You’ll find a piece of a different world at Willmore Park.
As one of Edson’s best kept secrets, Willmore Park will certainly
impress. Located right along the McLeod River, the park
offers something for everyone.
Hiking and biking trails, ranging from 1.5 km to 5 km
provide varying degrees of difficulty and are surrounded
by the beauty of the wilderness and scenic views of the river
valley. It is also a great place for runners of all levels.
There is plenty of room to camp in one of the 12 river side sites or 29 forest
sites. Group camping and picnicking is also available. The area is also a great
fishing destination.
The park is used for tobogganing, snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the
winter months and in the summer, it is a popular spot for swimming, hiking,
biking, running, soaking up the sun or tubing on the river.
The Edson Cycling Association and the Town of Edson have plans to improve
access to trails in the Edson area by building new trails at Willmore Park. The
cycling association has a multi-year plan to build approximately 8 km of new
singletrack trails to utilize more of the park space, to repair damaged sections
of existing trails and to build a mid-sized bike park. For more information on the
planned improvements visit www.edsoncycling.com.
Willmore Park is a definite must see with its calm, small town charm, grand views
and potential adventures!
