Easy trail, a few scenic spots but you are mostly going to be in the middle of a trail, only thing I missed was better weather!
If you go to Elk Island. Ask the gate person. She will tell you were the bison are. The Beaver Pond was ok. I got a lot pictures with the bison and their young it was very enjoyable.
We visited in mid July. There were many muddy patches along the trail following couple of days of raining. I am guessing trail isn't this wet normally, but is still wise to bring a pair of boots.
The trail itself is close to 4 km and meanders along riparian area with views of beaver dams which are fascinating to see. It is only a short drive from the Astotin Lake in Elk National Park. So if you are in and around the lake, its a cool easy trail to consider.
Too wet and muddy but nice trail.
Nice easy walk, with a little up and down. Good view of ponds but didn't notice much in the way of wildlife. Definitely bring the bug spray
