Great place to go for a hike. Note that it is not maintained during the winter and the parking lot is closed for the winter. You are recommended to park at the Cullen park entrance. Note that it will be a good km or more (nice paved path by, then through, the woods before you get to the hiking trails. I took the blue path, 2.2km long. A very nice and hilly path with the ground relatively pretty flat so you could push a stroller but note, the first hill up will be strenuous! Update: just took the red pitchfork trail. I very much enjoyed it but got lost. That doesn't usually happen to me. It could use a few more markets. I Do Not recommend this trail for pushing a stroller as the ground is much bumper. Beautiful River views and excited that someone has decorated many trees.

A pretty easy walk filled with paths parallel to the river. The walking trails become perfect for cross country skiing and tobogganing in the winter. It’s a quiet park that is less well known to most, so that’s what makes it such a special place to me. Great place to bring dogs!

We only did half the trail. None the less, a hike is always relaxing and beautiful! Leaves or no leaves. Sunshine or clouds. You don't have to look far for beauty when you're in the elements of nature. It's all in how you look and perceive things. That applies to life too!

A beautiful trail to walk, even in the midst of winter. Paths were clearly marked and relatively easy to navigate. Only downside was the paid parking - plenty of room, but seemed to be really muddy.

Love this place and it’s very family and pet friendly. There are multiple trails to choose from. You can try the Maple Leaf trail, which is an easy 750m loop near the main entrance. Or the newly built Iroquois Trail which is very wide and paved and runs parallel to a more open forest, should you want to step into the forest (entrance for this is at Taunton & Cochrane). Or you can do the challenging Devil’s trail (steep uphill) or the Railway Trail (runs through thick forest). Please note that the Railway Trail and the Devil’s Trail are not maintained during winter, so we found most of the trail to be very icy.
