OVERVIEW

The Community Services department is pleased to offer cross country ski enthusiasts the ability to enjoy the beautiful trails at Muriel Lake M.D. Park through the winter months. This will be the 2nd season that the ski trails will be built and maintained in the park and after the learning curve of last season, you can be sure these will be some of the finest groomed trails in the Lakeland! 

Muriel Lake M.D. Park is located 10 minutes southeast of Bonnyville, and will have 7.8 km of groomed trails in the beautiful boreal forest setting the park features. This season we have laid out two routes through the park. The shorter loop will be 5km in length with the longer loop measuring about 7.5 km.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding the trails please contact the Community Services Department at 780.826.3972 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
