Linear Trail

The Linear Trail is a manicured stone dust trail that winds along a broad, open floodplain from Hamilton Street to Preston Auditorium.

The Grand and Speed River confluence provides panoramic views and excellent bird-watching opportunities. Species include the Great Blue Heron, osprey, numerous duck, red-tailed hawk and occasionally, bald eagles.

A variety of butterflies is also prevalent, including the rare Tawny Emperor. Look for interpretive signs on the Jacob Hespeler Raceway and Rock Springs Brewery.
