This trail is really popular locally for mountain biking. Depending on the season you can spot a variety of birds, animals and insects. If you’re hiking to see some wildlife, we suggest visiting earlier in the morning as more creatures are out and about during that time. This trail is near the Humber River, so the area is a bit cold even during the day which is great during the summer. However, this path isn’t as well maintained during the wintertime so it can a slippery then.
