Route Description
Beautiful bridge 550 m before Mount Kidd RV Park |
Pass the golf course and Mount Kidd campground, then cross highway 40 at a marked crosswalk – about 1 km past the campground. This route allows you to stay on a paved trail and is also shorter and less smelly than if you crossed the highway at the golf course (the unpaved trail across from the golf course is shared with horses).
Nice view of The Wedge from the Ribbon Creek Bridge |
Wedge Pond Activities
- Hiking – 1 km interpretive hike around the lake.
- Picnicking – Bring a picnic blanket as the picnic tables are up the hill from the lake and there are only a few benches around the lake.

Effective post
Maybe start at Mount Kidd and go to Wedge Pond? Great camping there!
Where would you recommend to stop and turn around if we're looking for something shorter? Maybe 8km round trip
