Thicksons Woods

Much quieter and more peaceful than the public parks in the area. I believe that there are a good variety of birds and wildlife, but they are not as accustomed to the presence of people as those say at Lynde Shores. You will hear lots of birds, and if you are patient and bring binoculars you will probably see some, but don't expect them to get very close to you. They are really wild birds here, not tamed by thousands of people coming to feed them.

This is beautiful and extensive walking/ cycling/ hiking trail. You get to see scenic views of Ontario Lake throughout the trail and there are benches where you can rest or sit and enjoy the view. There are some secret spots where you can click few pictures and enjoy in peace, self reflect and be yourself. This is a very calming and relaxing trail with information maps and ways along the route. It's a must go natural conserved place.

I didn't go all the way but it's still a quaint peaceful walk. Lots of wild flowers and bird sounds. Nice place if you live close by.

It's seems like a great spot for biking or even running, but not so much for a nature walk. The trail is paved and laned for bikes. My family and I prefer shaded, dirt path, forested trails and this one was not it. Maybe we just didn't go far enough in, or don't know the right spots but we found very little forest and wildlife which I was surprised by, given previous reviews. The paving seems new and well maintained.

Super accessible. Stroller, bike, wheelchair, walker you name it. The path starting here going west is suberb. With lots of benches and rest bays to get out of the way.

Beautiful park with trails that branch out by the water. Make sure you go off the main paved area to explore more isolated areas.

Wild Pink orchids, bright red wild berries, wind whistling through long untamed grass mixed with white, yellow and purple flowers and pine trees. The sound of waves crashing against sandy cliffs. Falcons and ravens circling high up in the sky. All these elements compose the South-side of the paved hiking trail, and make for a remarkably beautiful trail that is ideal for walking, cycling, rollerblading, and running.On the North side near the beginning, in addition to all of the previously mentioned elements, there is an industrial complex at a distance that is fenced off. There is also a beautiful hill.Quick Tip: if you decide to Trail off from the main paved trail to reach the shoreline, its best to wear a long sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. The side-trails are beautiful but crowded with dense and bushy vegetation.Quick Tip: this trail finds all of its character on a windy, grey, and cold day of September.

a well paved, nice and quiet trail. no official parking lot but u can park near the entrance. no dogs allowed in some part of trails.

Great spot for a family walk (but bring a nose plug for going past the sewage treatment plant!). The chickadees will eat from your hands if you bring some sunflower seeds. Relatively flat and a variety of scenery.
