Boardwalk & Boreal Trail
The Grace Lake Boardwalk and Boreal Trail is a community-driven project that continues to grow. It now features a 370-metre floating boardwalk stretching along the shores of Grace Lake, minutes east of The Pas. This boardwalk connects to an 800-metre land-based interpretive loop that winds through a vibrant boreal forest.
The trail has become a local attraction, boosting tourism and inspiring new experiences in the area. Recent upgrades include improved accessibility, and the addition of a second scenic viewing platform—making the trail more welcoming than ever before.
