Walking Trails

The Doghide River Trail is a scenic route built along the Doghide River as part of the arts development in town.  In development since 1989, the system of walking/cycling/skiing trails along the Doghide River within the Town of Tisdale has grown to over 2 km of all-weather trails, crossing the river twice.

The trail system is incorporated into the wooded area of the Kinsmen McKay Park and runs along several sections of the riverbank.  The trail features a natural wetland with trout pond and a boardwalk and observation deck, a beautiful wooden gazebo, and a large passive park.

Tisdale Riverside Golf Club

Overlooking the Doghide River’s east bank, golfers enjoy summer on the fairways of the Tisdale Riverside Golf Course.  The nine-hole course offers an attractive setting that includes a driving range and modern clubhouse, licensed lounge, luncheon area, pro shop, and patio overlooking the grass greens.
