About Nature Walks

Looking for the experience of a hike, but with a little less exertion and a little more accessibility? Nature walks are the perfect blend of relaxation and exercise, allowing you to drink in the wonders of the outdoors with a low-impact activity that improves your fitness but provides plenty of opportunities to pause, reflect, and rest.

Magical Forests

Submerge yourself in the mystery of a forest walk, surrounded by huge trees, lush greenery and florals, and moss that covers the ground like a soft carpet. You may spy some wildlife along the way, or notice how the sunlight filters through the leaves and dances on the trickle of a creek. From West Parklands Natural Area in Saskatchewan to New Brunswick’s Musquash Estuary, Canada has an abundance of magnificent forests waiting to be explored.

Ocean Spray

Canada’s coasts hug three different oceans, each offering unique walking experiences that truly highlight the vastness of our world. Trails along the beach, sea-side cliffs, or coastal boardwalks let nature walkers have meditative, awe-inducing experiences. Drink in the ocean from the 90 meter tall sea cliffs of Nova Scotia’s Five Island Provincial Park. Stroll through the sand and watch a beautiful sunset on Crescent Beach Path near White Rock, BC. Or walk the shores of the hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories at low-tide, and glimpse the reefs that are said to resemble a herd of caribou.

Rugged Mountains

Many incredible views of the Canadian Rockies don’t require a multi-day hike. A moderate walking tour can result in a mountain experience you’ll never forget, as you survey the staggering heights of these massive natural structures and smooth your hands over ancient stone formations. The opportunities for a mountain walk are endless, from Yoho National Park in British Columbia, to Johnston Canyon in Banff, Alberta.

ADVENTURE

Benefits

Up Your Mood

Immersing yourself in nature with some light exercise produces feel-good chemicals in your brain and improves mood and energy levels.

Accessibility

Many nature walks include boardwalks or paved paths, making them more friendly to those with mobility considerations. Everyone in your group will be able to enjoy this activity, with the unique sounds and sights of your walk creating a memory to help bond you together.

Boost Immunity

Breathing in the fresh air on your nature walk ups your oxygen intake and helps build a stronger response against viruses, colds, and flus.

Essential Gear and Equipment

A nature walk requires very little gear. Grab some solid athletic shoes, a bottle of water, and maybe a granola bar, and you’re good to go!

If you are going into the backcountry, don’t forget your wilderness survival essentials (first aid kit, navigation, food, water, knife, fire starter, communication, and a backpack).

Bring extra food.
