POI 1 Tour Image
Rowland Park Lookout
We begin our tour by parking here in the parking lot of McNally High School. It's just ahead of you. Don’t worry, though, we won’t be sending you back to your calculus class! Once you’ve found a spot to park, head west towards the river to get to Rowland Park Lookout! Offering an incredible view of downtown Edmonton from the east, the best time for pictures here is at dawn, just before Edmonton’s majestic sunrise! Looking down upon the North Saskatchewan River, we can see the stoic Dawson Bridge straddling it. The bridge connects Rowland Road to the forest beyond, and, eventually, to the massive city center sprouting up from the trees! Take a seat at one of the public benches here and breathe in the sweet northern air that brought millions to Edmonton! Despite the obvious beauty of this lookout, there’s still more incredible spots for us to get to. So, when you’re ready, head back to your car and we’ll head to our next view!

POI 2 Tour Image
Forest Heights Park
On the way to our next viewpoint we pass by the lovely Forest Heights Park. Dog-friendly and beautiful to boot, Forest Heights is actually one of the largest parks in the North Saskatchewan River valley parks system! Enjoy the beautiful scenery on this bend of the riverside as we make our way to the next stop! When you get to the roundabout, please continue heading south and then turn right on Strathearn Drive.
