Griffith Woods is a protected natural park located along the Elbow River in southwest Calgary. Known for its dense white spruce forest and abundant wildlife, this area is a favourite for walking, trail running, and nature photography. The park’s soft-surface trails allow visitors to immerse themselves in a serene landscape that supports deer, songbirds, and beavers. Griffith Woods also plays an important role in flood mitigation and ecological preservation, making it both a recreational asset and an environmental buffer. Its peaceful ambiance and mature forest canopy offer a refreshing contrast to the busyness of urban life.
