c	chris Gee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful place to take a walk with or without your dog. We were greeted by playful chickadees and red tailed squirrels by the marsh boardwalk. There are some really great spots that lookout towards sturgeon lake.
G	Gabrielle Tayag on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spent a great afternoon here hiking the trails. Note that there are directional arrows indicating which way you're supposed to hike the trails, we didn't know this ahead of time as we hadn't encountered something like that before on other trails. The trails were fairly well maintained and an enjoyable hike but there are lots of roots so it can be easy to trip. Also note that there are lots of friendly chickadees that will come right up to your hand to feed so if you bring some bird seed you might be able to make a new chickadee friend! (we didn't even have birdseed although we wish we did, but they said hello anyways!)
S	Simon Prine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a hidden little gem. Saw a bald eagle and so many varieties of birds/ducks and the trails are great.
Z	Z K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came here for a Sunday Morning trail, with some friends. It's a beautiful trail with lot of scenic views. Parking is paid and very reasonable. It also has washrooms. The only negative is there are no options for food here so remember to carry some food and water. Please like my review if you find it helpful.
N	Natasha Minaeva on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a great hike! I especially liked that landscape changes often, you can walk in the dense forest and be in the middle of the field in a minute, beautiful lake views, and, I think, you can swim there in summer. It was also great to see interpretive signage for kids made by local library and dog off leash park at the entrance. Highly recommend to visit!
T	Tony Dalonzo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took my family on a “Guess Where Trip” called butter tart trail. Although this has nothing to do with butter tarts the walk burnt off the butter tarts I had to this point. Let me start by saying we are non active city folk. When we arrived we parked and the first sign we saw said bears active April to November my city kids didn’t like that. We wanted to go on the marsh boardwalk so we had to move the car to get closer. For city folk the boardwalk was pretty sketchy but we made it through. My daughter thought it would be good to take the longest trail at 2.5km. We made it most of the way and the scenery was beautiful. We saw quite a few people on the trail and even a few bike riders. Parking for the day was four dollars. We didn’t go through the rest of the park but it was a good time.
F	Fiona on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place with lots of trails! They offer a variety of trails throughout forests, fields, and marshes which give a nice change of scenery. I liked the ones through the marshes and areas with views of the water. Overall found the trails to be pretty easy to walk though, lots of boardwalks and the forest path is clear. Paths are also wide at most areas which is very nice. Dropped by on October 11, spotted fall colour leaves here and there. Parking is $4 for the day, both online and pay meter at the front of the park available. Lots of parking areas located throughout the park, with the ones in the centre of the park within easy walking distance to each other. Nice area to walk for all ages! A mix of longer and shorter trails suitable for everyone. Lots of birds which were lovely.
R	Rex Tsang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to hike, not much elevation changes so it's pretty easy. Trails are well marked and nice scenery. Bring some birds seed as the Chickadees will eat out of your hand. The only complaint I would have is the noise from the snowmobiles.
