Our family loved this trail. Lots to see and not very challenging. Many sites along the way as well such as the Prince of Wales museum, visitor centre, and Lesiglative Assembly (highly recommend!!). Great scenery and a must-do in Yellowknife! More

This trail is nice to walk on. It offers a pathed trail around the city with woods and lake surroundings. The only downfall is that it is not safe to travel alone or at night. There have been many attacks along this trail as well as the occational person "camping" out. More

This trail gives nice views of the city and of the lake in town. It is a lovely walk. It loops the whole lake. Most people just walk the paved city side. Many people use the trail for their commute to work or for daily exercise. There is usually a fair amount of people on the trail at any given... More

This trail is kept in very good condition. I visited it in November and it was well plowed and even in the evening it was well lit. I was able to go for a relatively long walk. Since its is protected by the trees it was comfortable walking even when it was more than -20 and windy. More

Walked all the way around the trail. Half the lake has a paved trail, the other half has some board walk but is more of a hike.

Frame lake hike is a mix of paved path, gravel path and a scramble over well marked rocky trail. There are great viewing points for views to Downtown and across Yellowknife. It's around 7 km and it's best to start around the northern heritage centre or visitor information centre. More
