Albertans shared feedback to help us develop a new plan for trails in the West Bragg Creek area. Phase 2 expected to open Spring/Summer 2022.
In partnership with the Bragg Creek Trails organization, we are collecting feedback to develop a new plan to improve and maintain trails, support recreation and protect natural ecosystems in the West Bragg Creek trail system.
The West Bragg Creek Trails Master Plan will provide an update to the All Seasons Trail Plan, as the level of trail use within the West Bragg Creek Provincial Recreation Area and Kananaskis Public Land Use Zone has grown and diversified over time.
The West Bragg Creek area supports recreation, Indigenous traditional land uses, cattle grazing, petroleum extraction and forestry. It is approximately 30 km from Calgary and is popular year-round for day-use recreation activities.
This work supports Alberta’s common-sense conservation plan and will align with the Trails Act to ensure that trails in the area can be enjoyed now and for years to come.

In Phase 2, Albertans will be able to review and respond to a draft trails plan.
