While in Revelstoke, we found our way down to Centennial Park and then we hiked two connected trail systems along the Columbia and Illecillewaet Rivers.   A paved trail follows the river south, with views of wetlands and the river.   Near the junction with the Illecillewaet, several trail options are presented, creating opportunities for a loop route of 5-8km.

We particularly enjoyed the footbridge over the river and the quiet greenbelt trails of both sides of the river.   All of these trails are flat and can also be biked.   Trails also link on the edge of town east to Mt. Revelstoke National Park, north to Revelstoke Lake, and southeast to Revelstoke Mountain Resort.   Many communities have not integrated trails into the town and surrounding areas, but Revelstoke has a strong vision for an outdoor lifestyle.
