Royal Botanical Gardens - Hendrie Valley Sanctuary (Cherry Hill Gate)

The Cherry Hill Trail is lovely and is free to enter. However, you can donate to the park by tapping a credit card at the entrance. Parking is not free and you can either use the machine to pay or download an app on your phone to pay and renew. I highly recommend that if you have data because I am sure you will end up wanting to spend more time at the trail. The bridal walk is beautiful specially the little pond down the road. Very calming although you need to choose a time that not many people are around. There is a bench you can sit and watch the swans and the (almost) still water.

beautiful trail with lots of animals. the animals are so friendly here that they are not afraid of people, be careful not to step on them. trails with long bridges. great place for a solitary walk. very glad we visited this place.

My absolute favourite place to be any time of the year. So many birds and chipmunks - a nature and wildlife lover’s dream! Please though, if you’re going to ignore the signs and feed the animals, make sure to research what is safe for them to eat!! DO NOT FEED BREAD TO THE DUCKS AND SWANS PLZ!

Our first time here. What an amazing place. There is a lot of wild life to see along with vegetation. Parking is $3 which is more than a reasonable price to pay for such a gorgeous trail.You can check out the Grindstone Creek. This trail also links Hendrie Park and Laking Garden and provides spectacular views of the valley.Some of the flowers you might run into, that we've seen: Skunk Cabbage, Early Saxifrage, White Waterlily and Blue-stemmed Goldenrod.You will also encounter variety of birds, mammals, amphibians and insects.This is probably the only place where you can pet a chipmunk. And let me tell you, this trail is packed with chipmunks. I’ve never seen so many at one place. If you have kids, bring them here, they will be distracted by the wildlife.

My go to place for a nice hiking or stay connected with the nature.

A must see in Burlington Ontario. A wonderful place to take a walk/hike with family and friends. There are so many birds that will land on your hand if you bring bird seeds! There is a newly built board walk. Perfect place to take pictures and videos of nature and wildlife.

One of my most favourite places to hike. There are a few different trails to venture on and so much wildlife along the way.These photos are taken when I brought my partners here for the first time. We were hoping to see some birds but given the early season there weren't many around. Over the next few months this trail will have tons of birds who will eat out of your hand if u bring some bird seed. It's always such an amazing experience
