Great scenery during a clear skies sunset but the ground looks like a dump site. Almost thinking about heading out there one day with a bunch of garbage bags do some cleaning. Really nice spot though, relaxing... peaceful and very neglected by the city.

The most beautiful pond ever. Not really, but it's nice to have something like this just north of the city.

A little muddy at times but a nice walk where you can even take the baby stroller. Only reason for 4 stars is that it goes out into a residential area at one point.

Easy 20-30 minute trail with an entrance that could be easily missed when driving. There's a small parking lot with a porta-potty for washroom needs. Great signage on each fork that shows where you are currently so it's hard to get lost. We saw a small pond and someone built a te...

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...
