Fraser River Trail has a total length of 6.3 miles between the town of Fraser and Winter Park. The marked segment follows the Fraser River (as the name indicates) and runs parallel to the Highway 40. The trail offers the possibility to connect the two towns without having to use a car and instead gives you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful nature, great views of the surrounding mountains and maybe even some wildlife encounters (beavers, moose, deer, birds...). Summed up: the perfect trail for families!
