Fenland is an easy loop through the forest just outside of town. It's also a great way to connect the town with a walk to the docks of Vermilion Lakes for a beautiful morning or evening hike. The trail is scenic and loops through the forest along Echo Creek, a tributary that connects Vermilion Lakes and the Bow River.

It's a relaxing walk that offers some pleasant river views and a few mountain views of Mount Norquay. If you'd like to spot some wildlife, this is an excellent trail, as lots of birds nest in the marshlands of Vermilion Lakes, and elk often rut along Echo Creek. It's not much of a hike, but it's a great way to stretch your legs and enjoy nature.
