S	Sadaf Shaikh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome trail for a bike ride; very well maintained. Be prepared for wildlife everywhere. We saw deer, a crane, snakes and almost ran over a squirrel.
j	jane Li on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The walk is very nice. There are varieties of things to see. The walk surrounds the reservoir. There are several bridges. On the northest of the walk, it has a woodened hallway consisting the dam to watch over the reservoir, it's quite scenic. Along the walk, there are spots where birdhouses are built, so many birds can be seen. On the reservoir, it attracts ducks to reside there. So it's nice to enjoy the view. It's stroller-friendly, just some parts are bumpy because of the pebbles. Many people walk their dogs there too. The walk can be more, it links to Murrell. All in all, we enjoy the walk.
B	Bren Irwin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a nice trail and the new boardwalks along the old abandoned locks look amazing. The trail is on both sides of the river, so you may miss one of the trails (beside the golf course if you're not looking for it.) Definitely worth the bike ride or walk.
M	M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely place for a nice walk or light hike. There are lots of trails and walkways of various difficulty levels, mostly beginner level but if you go a bit off-road, there are some semi-paved areas for intermediate hikers. Can spot some wildlife including a large variety of bird species. Good spot to view the fall colours too. There is free parking at the Nokidaa trail parking lot (can search this name on google maps). Lots of flying bugs closer to evening times so bring bug spray.
J	Jaqui Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Welcome to the shire. These photos will never do this magical place justice. Follow the nokiida bike trail over the long curving boardwalk through a vibrant field, and you'll find an abandoned dam that people climb on, some go to fish, some bring their dates. Keep riding through the winding forest, and see the stream peeking out through the trees. Finally you head out to rolling hills with quaint houses looking down at you. The water reflects the trees and flowers, while birds and butterflies pass you by. You feel like you're in another country. Perhaps you've even entered a different story from the life you were living. What a sweet escape!
W	Wayne Newton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Home to an outstanding hiking and biking trail that connects East Gwillimbury to Newmarket and Aurora, Rogers Reservoir can be explored in loop from the parking lot on Green Lane east of the 2nd Concession. The more heavily-travelled section is a wide packed gravel multi-use trail that leads to underneath the new 2nd Concession bridge, where the main yet unsigned attraction is the ghost canal and lock system that was intended to connect Lake Simcoe to the Trent canal. The wetland created by a dam is rich with birds and wildflowers attract butterflies and bees. The east half of the loop is party narrow and woodsy, partly a mundane trek beneath power lines. Trails are not blazed. Parking and admission are free.
Y	Yassin Mahboub on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing spot for a walk, there’s a beautiful wood-truss bridge that crosses over the river and has some gorgeous views.
P	Patrick Xu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful sunny Sunday. Went north on the west side of the creek, crossed the 2nd Concession Rd under the bridge. Then went along the south side of the creek to west, crossed the bridge, came back on the north side of the creek. Managed to cross the 2nd and returned on the east side of the creek. Walked distance was about 6.5km. The path on the east side of the creek is along a power line, but there is a short detour along the creek whick has a better scenery.
