What people say
- People like:
- Flat walking, wide water views, sunsets, birdwatching and passing aircraft.
Decent flat trail that skims along the water. Is roughly 5km long, so solid for walks, runs, and biking. Generally doesn't seem busy. Benches scattered around for breaks. Good local spot and great for watching planes takeoff and land at…
Came by in late October and saw hundreds of snow geese. Gorgeous wide views along the trail. Great spot for birdwatching and easy walking.
