Invermere - Westside Legacy Trail

25 Km

There are three parking areas for visitors to enter the Westside Legacy Trail, located along Westside Road.
The trail spans between Fairmont Hot Springs and Invermere.  Two Trailhead kiosks mark the beginning and the end of the Westside Legacy Trail; interpretive signage is along the way.

A wonderful paved path with scenic picnic opportunities along the way. Seventeen benches, or rest areas dot the trail on particularly beautiful sections, some overlooking Windermere Lake. Pause your outing at one of these spots and enjoy some nature – the trail also meets four small creeks and a large beaver pond.

The Westside Legacy Trail is for everyone – enjoy every metre and make fond memories.
It’s ideal for walking, biking and cross-country skiing.
