Griffith Woods is classified as a Special Protection Natural Environment Park because of its overall environmental sensitivity and significance.There are a lot of pathways in the park, so you could spend an hour or so exploring them.

Griffith Woods is a secret to most Calgarians not living in the community of Discovery Ridge.  Located at the edge of the city as you take Hwy 8 out to Bragg Creek, it is a natural environment park that winds its way along the banks of the Elbow River. From the parking lot you can either take the paved trails heading West or East but the longest walk will be in the West direction & if you decide on East, you'll end up at a small lagoon where the trail soon ends. 

You can take the flat paved paths if you have a buggy or children learning to ride their bikes. There are no hills in the park, it's actually a great place to practice riding a bike.  If you are looking for a more natural experience, follow the gravel paths to find hidden bridges and even a small swimming hole. The signage for griffiths is great.  Great for romantic walks and picnics.
