Lime Kiln Trail
Not worth it. It’s just a super long straight path that is flooded in places and entirely smells of sewage. It is such a poignent odour that it ruined the entire experience. The structures are somewhat cool but it’s over very quick in regards to the smelly path beforehand.

One of my favourite places to go on a short and medium length hike. I absolutely love the ruins and the birds that will sit on your hand if you have seeds. Seeing the portion of the trail that was ravaged by the fire a couple of years ago is truly impressive and breathtaking. Overall a great, easy place to walk.This is quite a popular place, even in the winter. Sometimes the parking is full - but you can just park on the street no problem!

Nice flat trail to walk in all seasons. Lots of birds and chipmunks. Once we saw an Owl as well. There are information boards throughout this trail.It’s easy hike and connected to the other trails. Parking can be full on a good day but you can always park on the side of the road. There is another entrance from Old Richmond Rd as well.

Gorgeous trail by Moodie Quarry. The forest fire in 2012 made for an interesting trek through fallen trees and bushes that grew among them. Very low traffic, connected to Jack Pine trail at Moodie Drive. Plenty of wildlife around.

It’s a beautiful trail but absolutely teaming with black ticks. Make sure you check yourself and dog after visiting.

One of the entrances for the greenspace's Lime Kiln Trail is located on Moodie drive beside the Moodie (Tomlinson) Quarry. It is a nice walk with many birds, animals, trees and wetlands. On the trail you will find the ruins of a late 1800's kiln that was used to refine lime from the escarpment that is located 20 meters from the path. Also on the path you can see the damages made in the wetland swamp by a fire and the recovery of this area. Take your time to look around even if you are walking your dog.

Very nice trail with a variety of terrain (crushed rock wide paths, boardwalks, and some forest paths). There is free parking for ~15-20 cars, and dogs are allowed in the summer.The ruins are the main attraction and are only about 10 minutes into the trail. This makes it ideal for people who just want a small walk. Or you can continue all the way to the end and loop back for a ~4.5km hike.There are a handful of nice panels with educational / historical information about the area.Make sure to bring bug spray in the summer or you’ll get eaten alive!

Very easy trail to hike, at least to the ruins. Would be more difficult if you have a stroller due to rocks and tree roots. Chipmunks are very friendly.

One of my favourite trails in this sector. The wildfire site is eerily beautiful, and it's full of interesting things to see - several resident porcupines, birds of prey, and cool mushrooms during the fall. Not to mention the kiln ruins! Only downside is the first part of the trail from the parking lot tends to get very muddy and wet in some seasons.

Really beautiful trail, you can honestly walk for a long as you want! The start of the trail from lime kiln parking lot was quite muddy (May 5th) rubber boots would've been great, but there were strategically places logs to walk on. This trail would be ok with a Bob or other big wheeled stroller, not a regular stroller. There's a toilet shack at the entrance, nothing else along the way. The shortest loop would be too long for a toddler to do on their own imo. This trail is likely to be very full of mosquitos soon as many of the swamp areas were FILLED with mosquito larvae (in photos, super cool!) so bring bug spray
