The trail in Boyd North leads from South to North. It's not a circular trail, so you'll have to walk back. One way from Rutherford to Major Mackenzie is about 2.5 km climbing and descending the hills. Has an average difficulty and definitely not suitable for people in wheelchairs...

Great spot for a hike and a great place to go exploring. There are multiple little trails to discover. The water streams are crystal clear and very relaxing to sit beside. The trail itself is closed off after a little bit for future expansion which means you can veer off into th...

This is such a gorgeous place to walk and enjoy nature with many different trails to choose from. I love walking on the boardwalk by the lake, it is one of my favourite views. It is also a great place for picnics with loved ones.
