L	Laura Dailly on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ we parked next to an old log home per Google's directions. there were a few other vehicles there, but I was really unclear how we kept coming across so many different people on our walk! turns out there are three different parking lots from which you can start your walk. the trail was well obscured by the leaves so it was tough to pick it out correctly. there are a number of complementary trails not listed on all trails (so it is easy to amble "off trail" without realizing it). it was a warm, sunny fall day and the weather was just right for a slow, but steady drop of leaves. My son caught a bunch, as did I. we met quite a few dogs and quite a lot of careless owners whose unhelpful call of "my dog is friendly!" repeatedly had to be met with "my dog isn't!". other than that, a really clean, well spaced trail. there are some steeps to climb/descend and there are hazards like big rocks/roots over the trail, so it wouldn't be an easy trail for everyone. for the able bodied, it was very easy and absolutely lovely. I'd like to see it in winter.
A	Astrid lei on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great trails, lots of different terrain for beginners n people who wanna get some hill work in, lots of people with dogs, depending on time of day! But over all Good experiences!
K	Kim Tilley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great place for either a leisurely stroll, a day of nature findings, or a great long hike! Watching for some worn/split bridge slats, some stones and roots that can trip you up, and especially for birds and local animals (chipmunks/squirrels) makes this a fantastic way to spend time outdoors.
J	Jim Wenger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent hiking trails on south edge of Orillia. Easy to moderate.
K	Ken Gordon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great trails, well maintained. Only suggestion would be to enhance the colour coding of the trails or maybe signs along the trails to the various parking lots. We got spun around a few times and aside from asking others where to go, there really wasn't anything else.
T	Tracey MacIntosh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great trail, only down fall is trail is not clearly marked for us newbies. Our 3.4km hike turned into a 6.8km which was fine for us but some people may have troubles.
R	Rex Tsang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not very difficult, has some elevation changes. It's close to the highway so you get the noise from there. It was pretty wet and muddy in some spots.
V	Victor Barros Costa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall, not a bad place to go for a hike. Our party had some trouble identifying the "scenic lookouts" identified in the map, as many of them appeared to be just spots next to closed woods with tall grass. While there were a few beautiful spots, if you're looking for a scenic getaway kind of trail there should be better options out there, as a good part of the trail was next to local roads so you can hear car noises in the background. There are washrooms in the parking lot, which is convenient. They were very well maintained when we went there.
