The Jumpingpound Demonstration Forest along Highway 68 in the Sibbald Flats area of Kananaskis offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. This forest is not just a haven for outdoor enthusiasts but also a living museum showcasing sustainable forestry practices.

As you drive around the loop and explore the multiple trails, you’ll encounter a 1950s-era portable sawmill, serene wetlands, and diverse wildlife. Whether you’re geocaching, traveling with your furry friend, or simply soaking in the tranquility, or — like me — all of the above, the Jumpingpound Demonstration Forest promises a connection with nature and history.

Our most recent trip to this location was in November of 2022. You can read that post here.
