    Historic Athabasca Landing Trail AN OVERVIEW Group at Stopping House enroute to Athabasca Edmonton from Landing courtesy NA-2788-2 Archives Glenbow of the ii iv Stantec Consulting Ltd. Introduction The historic Athabasca Landing Trail (ALT) was the first overland route between Fort Edmonton and the southern loop of the Athabasca River known as Athabasca Landing. The trail played a major role in the transportation of goods and services between Edmonton and Athabasca Landing in the late 1800s and early 1900s and was an important corridor for the settlement of the region. Many portions of the historic route are still in use as rural roads, and some portions are being used as recreation trails. Other portions have been abandoned. The ALT is recognized as a significant recreation, tourism, and heritage amenity and is registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT). The TCT route follows the historic route where possible and utilizes other county roads and undeveloped road allowances where use of the historic route is not feasible. The ALT is a key component of the TCT, linking the east- west land route with the northern land and water routes, as shown by the yellow circle in the figure below. Local trail groups have been working for years on revitalizing sections of the trail and recreating a continuous corridor for the ALT. The ALT steering committee was formed in 2008 to guide preparation of a conceptual master plan for the ALT corridor. Its mission statement is: “ . to promote and support the development of the Athabasca Landing Trail, a continuous, non-motorized recreational trail that follows the historic route from Fort Saskatchewan north to Athabasca, and links to other trail systems in Alberta and Canada.” Stuck on the Landing the on Stuck Trail - courtesy Provincial of Alberta/B5682 Archives Historic Athabasca Landing Trail 1 A tha bas ca R iver Athabasca ATHABASCA TRAIL first 100 Landing surveyed by HBC in 1877 (HBC 1875) by Dominion in 1879/80 Kinnoull KINNOULL: named after theScottish home of D.

  • Athabaska Landing Trail
    ATHABASKA LANDING TRAIL NEWS RELEASE May 13, 2009 ATHABASKA LANDING TRAIL CONSULTATION BEGINS People who live or work near the historic Athabaska Landing Trail are invited to attend one of two Public Open Houses regarding development of the trail to be held on Wednesday, May 27 at the Perryvale Hall & Thursday, May 28 at Half Moon Lake Community Hall. Sessions run 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. with presentations at 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. The open houses are organized by the Athabaska Landing Trail steering committee and Stantec Consulting, the company hired to develop the conceptual master plan for a non-motorized recreational trail between Lamoureux and Athabasca. The open houses are intended to create awareness about this trail project, and gather information and input on the proposed trail route. The Athabaska Landing Trail will follow, wherever possible, the existing historical route, often referred to as “The 100 Mile Portage.” This trail played a key role in the transporting of goods and services between Edmonton and Athabasca in the late 1800s and was an important transportation corridor for settlement of the region. Though some parts of the old trail enjoy frequent use and have been maintained, other portions will need upgrading or development in order to create a continuous 150 km recreational trail. Communities on or near the trail include Lamoureux, Fort Saskatchewan, Fort Augustus, Gibbons, Bon Accord, Fedorah, Waugh, Clyde, Westlock, Nestow, Tawatinaw, Rochester, Perryvale, Meanook, Colinton and Athabasca. The trail route is currently recognized as a recreation, tourism and historical interpretation amenity and is registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail in Alberta.
