Paved Trails Stay on flat land or take a stroll into the coulees, there are kilometres to explore on the paved trails in Echo Dale Regional Park. Take the path to the top of the coulee, and you'll find a beautiful viewpoint that over looks the entire Regional Park.

Swim Lake Lay in the sand, swim in the water, find a tree to relax in the shade, or have your children play on the playground, whichever you choose will be a splen did day underneath the sunshine. There is a Swim Centre that has food, drinks, and your swim essentials. A large green space surrounds the sand, as well as picnic spots, including an accessible spot, and a gathering space that can be rented for larger groups.

Mountain Bike Trails Echo Dale Regional Park is home to over a dozen mountain bike trails for various skill levels. Ride the flowy trails along the coulees or explore the whole park on an approximately six-kilome tre cross-country trail. Hone your bike handling skills with the mini wooden trail structure built alongside the boat lake. Camping Escape solely into pure prairie lands with surrounding coulees. Set up a tent or park your trailer and start a fire to indulge in s'mores. This space is beauti ful, peaceful, and quiet. There is always something nearby with all the activities — swim lake, South Saskatchewan River, and leisure and mountain bike trails. Book campsites at cityofmedicinehat.ca
