Skip the first gate providing access to the river, though – you can walk on the river there, but you’ll soon reach a dead end at a frozen waterfall like we did and have to climb back out. The easier one, which I recommend for visitors with young kids, is to park at the Fifth Bridge parking lot and walk up (it’s a gentle uphill stroll). There are two parking options for reaching the Icewalk. You can access the ice walk from a few gates between the Fourth and Fifth Bridges, then walk upstream on the frozen stream (Maligne Canyon has a total of six bridges, with the highest one, Bridge 1, by the main parking lot). ![]() But for the most memorable experience, you can walk right on a portion of the frozen river, called the Maligne Canyon Icewalk. Walking trails along the canyon, the ones visitors usually walk along in summer, allow them to peer down into the icy world. These are some of the closest waterfalls you can find from Edmonton! In winter, the narrow canyon carved by Maligne River turns into a winter wonderland of frozen waterfalls, hanging icicles, and slippery paths.
