What people say

People like:
Bridge and North Shore views, large trees and tucked-away trails.
Worth knowing:
Muddy paths and overgrown vegetation are noted.
Great tucked away spot with decent views of the North Shore and Ironworkers Memorial Bridge along the Trans Canada Trail. Can be a bit muddy.
Google reviewer
A bit of a wasted opportunity at the moment. Has some huge old trees and a lovely view of the straight and the bridge, but is overgrown
