NOKIIDAA TRAIL REVIEWS

I grew up in Holland Landing...and this place is like a safe haven for me. This trail has everything you want...water, green life growing everywhere and plenty of terrain to travel and animals along the way. This trail and the areas surrounding it look extra amazing In the fall and winter time. In the end if u want a nice quiet nice walk then this is the place to go.

This trail is awesome. Long enough for approximately 30 minutes walk to reach 2nd Concession road and it continues beyond it. There is a beautiful river just along the trail. There is a big parking lot in Yonge St. and Mt. Albert Rd just in the corner. Wildlife is must to see. Beaver and ducks ???? and birds can be spotted easily.

Lovely trail with a good mix of path and boardwalk. Take care as there are lots of people on bicycles on this trail. The mix of urban and nature scenery makes this trail more interesting. Trail is great for walking and cycling. Will be sure to bring our bikes next time.

TIM JONES TRAIL REVIEWS

Such a lovely hike with the dog, the trail was lovely, well kept, long and free of garbage. It did get a little muddle for us since we wondered off the trail for a few area. Overall we enjoyed it and would definitely be back. Restrooms: We some some around the baseball fields, but we used the one in the rec centre. Dog-friendliness: Saw so many cute doggos, they even have a huge dog park

This is a long trail through Aurora and Newmarket. The Aurora portion of the trail is partially paved and partially dirt/gravel. The Newmarket portion of the trail is paved and suitable for walking, running, and cycling. The Aurora portion of the trail passes through parks with playgrounds and sporting facilities. The Newmarket portion winds through more natural settings over marshes, and by rivers and ponds. The scenery is varied. I look forward to coming back in spring and summer to see more wildlife.

I love this park because of wildlife I was in apartment with a biker who almost hot me. Please put some humps on this bridge. We human and need our space too. Thank you!
