JEFFERSON FOREST REVIEWS

The forest offers an array of well-maintained paths and challenging mountain bike trails that cater to all skill levels.

The scenic beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy outdoor activities.

Huge area of natural reserve, entrance from the Stouffville road is good for 2 cars only, many trails ( not sure if every trail is in the map) make sure to have mosquito spray and clothing for the whole body parts to cover. No picnic or playground area, this forest is perfect to explore, nature walks and a bit of a hiking experience.Great way to get closer to nature.

Great trail with plenty of loops for hikes of different lengths and complexity. Really enjoyed it. A significant downside is the lack of parking - people keep parking on the shoulders across the road from the trail entrance. It is not a very safe arrangement with heavy traffic in both directions.

SAIGEON TRAIL REVIEWS

It's always interesting to see how the same trail can look so different depending on the season. Saigon trail is a hidden gem in Richmond hill. An easy out and back trail with lots of boardwalks. Trails are not maintained in winter so come with icers if there has been a lot of snow. There is no parking if you access the trail from the main road. Pro-tip: Park at the fire station, and cross the road to access the trail.

A true gem and nature trail located within the Gta! This park offers some great nature amenities which include different water streams, stunning boardwalks , awesome trees and a gorgeous trail head. If you are looking for a trail that spans for hours on end, and serenity at its finest look no place else!

A great trail to walk, especially during fall with all the leaves changing. Relatively easy trail with some uphill portions but very much manageable. Some boardwalk bridges throughout.

OAK RIDGES TRAIL REVIEWS

Great trail and beautiful scenery. I didn't realize how long the trail is. Next time we will walk the 10k from Bathurst to Bayview. Once the leaves comes in out will be very nice to see. Make sure you go to the washroom first. Not a lot of parking spots as that are usually very busy.

Went for a hike with my little girl and my dog. It was great long enough to get a good hike in and enough interesting things to see beside the outdoors. There some ruins from and old house and a small barn, Great for pictures.

The trail around the lake with a great view is quite enjoyable. Be aware that it might get muddy after the rain. Also, finding parking can be difficult on weekends.
