  • This is a smooth trail and not very long. The mosquitoes were not bad but we didn’t get to spend much extra time due to our travel schedule. Don’t rely on google to get you there though ….

  • Cool little slice of heaven in the city. Heavy moose activity judging by the piles of moose poo everywhere. That didn't deter us from liking to visit every day of our trip to look for them. The locals who use the trails are friendly. Saw ducks, terns, grebes and red squirrels.
  • Access to a bird sanctuary and boreal forest via level, wide trails. If you are into nature, this should be a priority. This can be a little hard to find. I parked next to the car museum and picked up the trail from the rear of the museum. The trailhead looks like it starts in a restricted parking lot - my parking spot avoids this.
