The trail connects from the residential community of Sage Creek in the far east of Winnipeg, passes through many communities along the way and via connecting trails leads all the way to the community of Charleswood. Because the trail crosses over the Red River - it is often referred to as the Bishop Grandin Trail East (7 km) of the Red River and Bishop Grandin Trail West (5km).
Bishop Grandin Greenway Trail - 4 km Bishop Grandin Greenway Trail is more than a system of pathways - it is a network of nature areas that includes 3 retention ponds (named Apakway, Eagles and Nature’s Haven) and public pathways that link and support human and wildlife communities. In 2000 a small group of community citizens interested in in enhancing and conserving the area along Bishop Grandin Boulevard between the Red and Seine River, formed the volunteer charitable organization Bishop Grandin Greenway Inc (BGG).
