Beautiful and easy trail in the city, quite busy with locals, and definitely have bears in the area, watch out for ticks too.

6km out back to the lookout, 2 hrs, steady climb. I heard from other hikers that there is a shortcut to the bottom of the stairs to the lookout, if you just follow the lookout road, but i did not try it. Easy hike overall, lookout is awesome, highly recommend,

The garden is just okay, but the view from the top pf the lookout tower is worth the five star, paranormal view of the whole Parry Sound. Although the top is fenced, guess for safety reasons, but I can still manage to get a good picture.

Pretty conservation area, quite busy, not big, but i can easily spend 2+hours here in a relaxed pace and sit on the beach watching waves and the toronto skyline. Nice long boardwalks, well maintained. The marsh offers great place to watch for birds and other wildlife.

I parked at the free parking lot at Jack Darling Memorial Park, and walked here in around 10min.

always appreciate to have such a nice place to get close to nature close to home.
