If you would like to ski or run in the Boreal forest, or just enjoy a stroll in the woods, try the Muskeg Creek trail system at the west side of Town. In winter months, over seventeen kilometres of cross country ski trails (1.2 km lighted) are maintained and groomed by the Athabasca Nordic Ski Club. Enter at the Muskeg Creek Chalet, by the Landing Trail Intermediate School, or at Athabasca University.
After a long winter, the trails double as running loops for Athabasca's joggers and fitness minded, and paths for those who enjoy birdwatching and nature appreciation. Also a challenging mountain bike ride.
