Elk Island Discovery Tour

COVID-19 UPDATE: At this time, there is no tour van experience, so guests are responsible to arrive at the trailhead with their own vehicles. On arrival, staff will ensure social distancing and sanitizing measures by giving each participant a headset, so that our hiking group can be 2 m apart from each other while walking single file along the trail. All equipment will be disinfected after every use and guests are encouraged to bring their own personal protective equipment, but staff will have extra just in case.

If you feel sick or confirmed with the corona virus, please do not participate. In return for doing the right thing, you can reschedule your tour or receive a full refund.

Your geo-adventure begins at the Moss Lake Trailhead, where the last glaciation deposited rolling sandy hills and meltwater depressions along with alternating vegetation. The west portion of the trail loop passes through terraced beaver dams and native grassland habitat. There are a large number of rolling hills to climb that makes this hike somewhat challenging.

Length: ~12.5 km

Time:  5 hours; weekends (0800 to 1300 hrs)

Level of Difficulty: Moderate

Significant Features: Mixed wood forest. Great for viewing beaver, elk, plains buffalo, and waterfowl.
