LITTLE TRACT TRAIL REVIEWS
Great hiking spot with lovely trails. The trails are a bit hilly so keep that in mind for mobility issues. Lots of local folks walk their dogs here too. The forest is really well managed and it's a pleasant walk all year round. On nice days the parking space is a little crammed but most people do their best to not block others.
Excellent trail for hikers of all experience levels. Many interconnected trails that veer off in all directions so keep track of orientation. Many dog owners make use of trail off leash(myself being one) and I've never had an issue. Occasionally you may encounter people on horseback. There's lots of very nice scenery to enjoy and get lost in, it's especially gorgeous in the winter. Summer can be quite buggy so take precautions. Overall a very nice place to spend a few hours.
Very nice, interesting trail with lots of hills. The main trail is nice and wide and fairly well groomed. A few muddy spots along the trail but not bad.

SHADE'S MILLS CONSERVATION AREA REVIEWS
Worth the weekday evening trip. There are two lots to access the beach from (the left parking lot is a shorter distance). The washrooms are usually clean. There are two volleyball courts, plenty of picnic tables and open space areas to play sports. The beach is long so there's usually open space to sit (weekends - arrive between 8-10am to get a good spot). There are also canoe/kayak/SUP rentals available. I bring my SUP and it's a great spot to paddle for an hour or so (somewhat of a small lake). A great spot to spend your summer days.
It is a Great place to visit. Nice and serene lake. Some good trails are out there. Also it is not very far away from the City of Cambridge. You can spend 3-4 hours very easily here and if you are coming with 2-3 families or a group of people, you can spend more time here. You can do BBQ here. There are benches all over the place. Washroom facility if provided. I believe it if open all year round but as summers in Canada makes these type of places more attractive.
Lovely, well maintained walking trails along a stream and forest paths in any season! Dog friendly, woods cycling, and if there is enough snow, cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

DUMFRIES CONSERVATION AREA REVIEWS
A beautiful conservation area in the middle of the city here in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.???????? There is no desegregated playground for children at this location, but seems to have a small jungle gym set inside the dog park fenced off area that is there for children to use but I’d inside the dogs free roaming off leash area? So yes this park is very dog friendly and an appropriate spot for dogs to be and there are 2 picnic areas but the one picnic area closest to Dunbar street has no picnic tables just a roof covered Shelter with no seats or tables at all. Also there are technically no restrooms either, the YMCA has bathrooms inside their facility right next to the Hespler road entrance/parking lot/ picnic area but technically it’s a separate business and entity.
I love this place. It's such a nice forest oasis in the middle of the city. There's so many different paths to explore. You could spend as little or as much time as you want in here. The dog and I are big fans and it's super close to us so we're here pretty much daily. I highly recommend!!
Great place for a walk. Some benches to sit and eat as well. Parking is available.
