walking trails

This trail, as it is a great benefit to residents and visitors of Dawson Creek, is borderline useless. What is the point of the trail just ending in the middle of nowhere on 17th street in the west? Also, although it is nice to have it span eastward over 8th street, really glad I end up in a cemetery.The point of walking/ biking/ running is to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors, not to be reminded of your impending demise. Please connect this trail to 4th street. Make 4th street one way for traffic and allow pedestrian use to access the ball fields and the aquatic centre year round!!!!!!!!!!!!Make sense?

The most scenic, quietest and beautiful part of the Dawson Creek Rotary Trail is between 17th&101 and Tubby's Campground. If you have a dog, this is the best area to take it for a walk.I don't think that this section is maintained during the winter, but I could be wrong. I'll confirm and ammend this review when there is snow.Hopefully the Rotary project to put in the last bridge across the creek behind the mall will be completed soon. Then it will be possible to follow the trail from Rotary Lake to the Kennedy Bored Aquatic Centre.

Lots of walking trails given the small area of Dawson Creek. The Dawson Trail in Kin Park is lovely, and the city even keeps the main walk cleared of snow in the middle of winter. Very pretty, whether summer or a -20 (if you're dressed warmly enough to enjoy it!). Would not recommend part of Dawson Trail that extends out of Kin Park, and behind the mall. Summer 2013 It is/was unkept, damaged, and rough making the trail unclear and difficult to pass through at one point. Until fixed and thus frequented with more people traffic, it is possible you might run into an animal that has made it home (I could smell bear, summer 2013, beat it out of there, and was later told one was living in it - thank goodness for olefactary senses!). Now, the Dawson Trail in Kin Park also extends in the opposite direction as well (SW), and this will eventually lead you to the Rotary Trail. The trail does break up, take a jog or two and without consistent signage it does seem to disappear at one point, but use google maps or ask someone. It's nice once you find your way. The Rotary trail is a good exercising walk, or run, with a lovely big sky, big field view. It should take you near "Rotary Lake" (pool, not a big lake) near one of the main RV sites and the golf club if you go the distance from Kin Park. This trail does get a little secluded and less travelled, so go with someone if you are uncomfortable with that. Another lovely set of trails is Leoppky park. With some treed, bushy areas you get a bit of a forested sense. The brush does block the line of sight from the parking lot and surrounding homes.

Enjoyable walking trails with an outdoor fitness station which some fun activities. There is poetry along the trail - no idea what it's about or who wrote it, but it is fun to read. It would be great if the author was known, or there was somewhere to get info on what it was about.

Each time I visit Dawson Creek, I walk the Rotary Trail, so that I can stop and read the series of stone markers inscribed with the poetry of Donna Kane.

Dawson has a nice walking trail through town and behind through parks. Not a Vancouver Seawall kind of walk but a nice little hop skip and jump if you're around and want to stretch your legs.
