Sassafras Point Lookout

Beautiful in the winter when all the leaves have fallen and you can see so far and all the little valleys in this area.

Great views, clear paths, some elevations.

What a great place to hike and the sunsets are beautiful here. If you're lucky enough, you might even run into some deer along the trails!

Beautiful views of Cootes Paradise. Plenty of spots that are hidden from the trail; feels somewhat like your own private lookout.

Amazing hike. Short distance starting from McMaster. Hour round trip. Got to see a greatView.

Worth the hike to Sassafras Point Lookout. It was the end of March so Sassafras trail was fairly muddy--nothing unexpected for this time of year. The trail can be reached from other trails, and all part of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The RBG does a great job with all the trails and gardens! Check them out!What I liked: The trail was fun because it went up and down hills and around a bunch of bends. It wasn't boring. When you get closer to the lookout, you can see the water off to the sides. There were parts of the trail where birdsong filled the air, it was quite lovely. I mostly heard red-winged blackbirds. I saw some swans and Canada geese swimming in the water.The trail wasn't too long so if you don't have a lot of time, you can access it from Caleb's Trail and walk it in under an hour. I stopped for some photos so I took 1.5 hours. Enjoy!

Great place to hike...lots of wildlife and amazing views!

I had to go and see this trail! I stumbled upon the Sassafras Point Lookout and it's absolutely lovely. It was no easy task to get up there due to my asthma HOWEVER, it was worth it!

March 24 - trail is really muddy in spots. Be careful. The view of Cootes Paradise is lovely though.

Quite place to Walk. Amazing information on the trail to follow some seinic point.
