Best Hiking area in Canada

A	Andy Dabydeen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent trail for a morning hike.
K	Kathy Carter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a gem of a park with two beautiful ponds. The trails are easy and a loop of the tract is just over 3k so good for families and older dogs that can’t handle hills or long hikes. I saw swans, geese, a great blue heron and a few turtles. There are also lots of fish in the ponds.
G	Gemma Terra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very recommended. Convenient parking with enough room for the cars, the trail is clean and covered by wood in problematic areas of the road that goes in the forest. Recommended to put a bug spray - the mosquitos are brutal!!!. I wish the municipality paves the road along the lake or fill in the large holes with gravel, because after the rain the puddles were tooooo big, hard to find tiny paths to go around them.
D	Dana Goldberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful forest with easily accessible trails and two ponds. Very quiet and relaxing.
C	Connie Zeneri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful quiet hike today with my best girl Quincy. Dry trails made our hike even better.?
E	Elizabeth Layton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful trail with a pond. No out house available so plan your trip accordingly.
R	Roca Koo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a quaint little trail with plenty of room on the main route. That are plenty of smaller trails that branches off but the map is not updated, so without a map or phone GPS you might feel rather loss at the splits. The region is bordered by residential properties so if you're taking the left or right branches you'll end up walking by backyards after backyards, which can feel kinda awkward. I guess one hot spot would be the stable you see but ultimately it's still somebody's property, not to mention you'll not find your way there if you just follow the map. If the trails were better documented it would have been perfect because there weren't a lot of people and it feels spacious. There's two pond on the far side of the trail but your can't really get a good view, and one of them has got plenty of tall grass in it anyhow. Following the trail around the pond you'll come across a point where you basically need to jump/stretch across an outlet to continue on the "trail". Unsure if this is intended. Overall it was enjoyable and great for small kids or beginners, since the trail is mostly easy and won't take long if you keep on the main route.
L	Leon Karchun on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great for weekend short hike. Easy with todlers as you see, my 4 yo had great time. Wasn't windy and such a relaxing walk. Haven't saw anyone in 2 hours.. Recommended.
