Cameron Heights Loop

Route Description for Cameron Heights Loop

The Cameron Heights Loop trail is a great partially paved pathway in the Cameron Heights neighborhood. It is a great way to get some fresh air in the middle of the city; however, it isn’t a true escape. Parking can be confusing, so pull off to the edge of the road, and if there is no space here, you can find parking at the end of Chahley Way NW.

From the end of E.L. Smith Road, find the trail and begin walking in a clockwise direction. You will begin by heading left from the road in the marsh area. After 300 m, you will come across a trail to the right. Stay on the main trail here. Continue for 500 m before crossing a road and remaining on the main trail.

In 700 m, cross Cameron Heights Dr NW and stay on the trail. Many cyclists use this route, so watch out for traffic. Come to a junction in 400 m and take a right. You will be on a path between the rows of houses here. Pass Chahley Way where a parking area and park are located. 300 m after crossing the road, come to a trail junction and take the middle trail. The right trail will lead you to the same destination, but on a regular street rather than the perimeter trail by the river. The trail to the left takes a longer route, and loops back around to the river as well.

Continue on the middle trail, heading east towards the river. Enjoy the easy to follow trail near the river as it winds back to the starting point .

This trail is wide enough for a stroller or chariot, and perfect for all abilities. Many visitors ride bikes on this trail, and choose to explore the neighborhood while in the area.
