Aspen Trail

Fern Valley Trail
This relaxed 4km trail has an optional lookout loop overlooking the lake and beach. The summer ferns, gentle hills and tall trees help you create a great a memory no matter the season, and the lake itself is perfect for swimming! Parking is free at the Aspen trailhead, and Fern Valley has an entrance visible across the road. As an option, you could get a day pass to park a vehicle within the park, go hiking, enjoy the beach, have a picnic, then get a cool treat at the guardhouse on your way to another adventure!

The optional long 3km loop around the perimeter lets you see every view, and takes you deep into the forest. You will get back to the trailhead with many memories and a smile. 3 trails within Red Pine have been made for mountain bikes!
