Reviews of Marsh Loop Trailhead (Park)

Tara N

Quiet walking trail. There are horses that frequent the trail so there are dropping along most of the dirt portion.

Michael I. -C. Wang

The trail is full of horse dropping. Nothing really special.

Loved the place

Michel Colin

Very nice walk. Take care of the mosquitoes

Don't miss this great nature trail when visiting cave and basin! Astounding marsh and mountain views. Cool nature trail signs describing the diversity created with the hot springs runoff.

(Translated) A very short circular route with some views. Can be done, does not have to be. Black mollys can be seen by the fish below. Life in the warm water of the spring. (Original) Ein sehr kurzer rundweg mit einigen Ausblicken. Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht. Bei den Fischen unten sieht man Black mollys. Die Leben im warmen Wasser der quelle.

Very nice trail to explore along a marsh which is the filtering system for the Bow river to keep the water fresh and clean... lots of animal and plant life abound in the area and in the water... plus the funky sulfur smell from.the various hot springs running into the marsh naturally.

Beautiful

Robert Chernish

Nice place to stretch the legs as well as see some iconic sites with links to Sundance canyon and beyond on the southwest side of the river. Also horses share the trails here.

Easy flat walk along the river. Good for young kiddos.

(Translated) It is a wetland surrounding a swamp with hot springs coming downhill from the Sulfur Mountain. You can enjoy the mountains and river along the Bow River. Boardwalk beneath caves and basins national historical monuments exhibition hall, through pristine marshes and bubbling hot spring water. It is a good place for bird watching. (Original) 是一條環繞著沼澤的濕地，有來自硫磺山下坡的溫泉。弓河沿岸可以欣賞山巒及河流美景。 在洞穴與盆地國家歷史古蹟展覽館下方的木板路，穿越原始的沼澤地和冒泡的溫泉水。是賞鳥賞景的好地方。

Awesome

Mandana Alejamshid

We enjoyed our time in this loop although we did not think we'd like it. It's a small beautiful and quiet area.

Marta Anne

Great place and great history. The hiking trail is very short but really worth doing it. As you walk along the boardwalk, you feel peaceful. You can smell the trees, see streams, and the marsh full of tiny fish. The cave is amazing. A must see if you're in the area

Andy Holmes

Great hike, good distance and some great photo spots along the way. Nice to end at Cave and Basin too and check that out ????

Felicia Ng

Great low key walk with little ones to observe nature. The walkways are marked with informative plaques about local fauna. Bring your magnifying glass to observe the minnows or your binoculars to bird watch.

(Translated) A common path for pedestrians and horseback riding is mostly muddy and unmarked. (Original) שביל משותף להולכי רגל וטיולי סוסים רובו בוצי ולא משולט.

Ron Gamble

The view is awesome

Ольга Демидова

Views of the river are beautiful. But this trail is used as a toilet for horses. It’s not easy to finish the walk with clean shoes. And the smell at all the loop is very unpleasant

Miriam Feltham-Lauzon

Nice and easy walk through nature. Very curated boardwalk. Information is helpful to learn about the landscape and animals. An easy nature walk! (This is not a hike!)

Elizabeth Davis

The Marsh Loop is closed, although on government website it doesn't say that. Got in trouble...

Tina East

Not too crowded. Great views

Yhali Gat

Short easy walk

Sebastian Kluth

Marsh Loop Trail presents the unique ecology related to the hot streams. You can see unique birds, fish and even snakes in this area. Hiking the entire trail takes about thirty minutes.

Vacate Ssyzr

A short, level, and pretty hike suitable for virtually anyone.

Navdeep Girdhar

The trail leads to the cave where sulphur water is coming from. The whole trail is boardwalk and well maintained.

Jeffery Chen

Amazing “hike”. It’s more like a nice walk with awesome views

Liam Steele

Lots of birds but also lots of mosquitos.

R o3738

Great views along the river, however, frequent use by horses (by the tour company nearby) turns the majority of the track into a total mudpit making it incredibly uncomfortable for pedestrians post-rain.

Naresh Kumar

Top picks for the best places to visit in canada. You can enjoy every minute of your trip here. Incredible views of nature.

Awesome

jay desai

Unique in its own way

Woopate

Great trail close to the water! Was a little muddy from the frequent horse trail rides though.

Mary Elbekai

Beautiful

Chad Milroy

Probably our favourite spot to come when we’re in Banff. The loop is easy for all and the views are gorgeous. We love hearing the water trickle down the mountain all the way to the lake. The water is so warm, it never freezes. There are lookouts for birds and spots to see the small fish that call the marsh home. Peaceful spot just to relax. Check it out next time you’re in Banff. It’s just below the Cave and Basin.

Newton Hislop

Great board walk with superb views of the mountains. I love the marshes with the mosquito fish in the marsh.

Cherish Jordan

Amazing and easy hike.

Professor J

Lovely nature but a bit confusing with signage.

Jas Darrah

Great bird-watching and bird-listening location.

jesse james

Loved this location so beautiful

Sandi Eskildsen

We go there often & love it! It's a nice easy walk with a gradual incline, which is great if you're on bikes. Nice falls you can dip your toes in, but be careful, it can be slippery. It's not a busy path but you come apon trail rides often. There's also little trails, off the main, going through the marsh. Highly recommended

Saik Lore

Lovely boardwalk.

DAVID STUART ALEXANDER MACKIE

Its is a short interpretive boardwalk. Interesting little Oasis created by the hot geothermal water outflow from the Cave & Basin hot springs. Sundance Canyon trail is currently closed due to selective logging operations. DMack.

Brandonn Lu

This is what brings me here again and again the beautiful natural looks from the wooden trail although is super cold

David Shaw

An easy trail for families that close to downtown.

Ian Hall

Nice pleasant walk

Dan Harb

Just ok, better trails near by

Thomas Eddy

Relaxing and good views

Dan Gerling

Nice place to enjoy nature and very scenic views

Robert Phillips

Like almost everything in Banff the Marsh Loop Trailhead is amazingly beautiful. Clean clear water, surrounded by trees and mountains. I would think that this would be a good place to watch for animals.

Awesome

David Ducolon

Short on details but also low cost and still fun.

Nice

Dave Ensing

Nearly flat loop around marshes along the Bow River. Home to numerous bird species (especially during migration), beavers, muskrat, elk and deer.

Mike Labelle

The scenery was amazing what a view

Anna Bambury Laforet

This is such a beautiful place so much to learn here. A must see place when in Banff is free too.

Yoav Charpak Amikam

Great view of the Marsh, bow river and the nearby mountains. Very easy, simple and short hike. We were there in October, and the trail was very muddy and full of horse manure.

Loriann Harroun

Really nice drive great for Sunday.

H B

Good little walk, not all too spectacular at this time of the year

Terry Schultz

Beautiful scenery, interesting history.

Chris Althorp

Lovely walk along a lazy river. Very easy - good warm up before you go up Tunnel Mountain.
