The Grace Lake Boardwalk and Boreal Trail is an exciting project which has grown to include a 370 metre floating boardwalk expansion along the shores of Grace Lake east of The Pas. The boardwalk connects a lookout area to the land-based interpretive trail loop though a lively boreal forest for approximately 800 metres.

This project has impacted the economic life of the area, drawing visitors and spawning new experiences and attractions.
