Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area

Wonderful, quiet, lots of trails, not much parking, a beautiful walk in nature. God's wonderful creation on display.

One of the best trails ever visited in Ontario. Very quiet, serene and peaceful. You can hear sounds of birds chirping everywhere. If you prefer a quiet trial to enjoy the sounds of nature, this is the best option. Wearing an outfit to protect yourself from mosquitoes would be helpful.

Can’t go wrong roaming around this forest area. It offers routes for mountain biking and hiking. Trails are long and dense to help you appreciate the beauty of the forest.

Love this place, it's a bit muddy but still a good hike. I'd love to bring my bike here next time. Get here before noon if you want to get a parking spot.

Absolutely gorgeous nature and wildlife!Great place for hiking and biking!

May 28- 2022One of my favourite hiking apps is AllTrails. Whenever I head out of town for errands or meetings, I open my location in the app and see what hikes are around. That is how I discovered the Palgrave Forest today.A fantastic 11km hike through a mixed growth forest, part of the Oakridges Moraine. It is so lush right now, incredible greens, chorus of birds and an orchestra of frogs fill the air as you walk through a shaded forest passing by seas of lush ferns. The smell of lilalock is everywhere.Only an hour from Toronto, this is definitely the time to go. We encountered about a half dozen people, so lots of solitude to enjoy. The trails are all natural, hard packed with many up and downs - a real quad worker and calorie burner. Stick to the blue trail and moraine trail if you want to avoid the mountain bikers. Definitely worth a visit. Billy the dog gives it 4 paws up.

It is a beautiful place I love it here...This place is visibly marked along the trails....You with see people horseback riding, riding on their bikes, and of course hiking. It's a great place to stop and have a picnic as well....❤️

The trails seem east and flowy but wow you’ll get a workout! Mostly pine forest so it always smells good too. Enter off Duffys lane for good trail access

The main trail is wide, straight and easy, but the side trails are narrow, winding, and tiresome. I think the complicated small trails are designed for mountain biking. A lot of towering conifers were planted there including red pines and cedar. The mature forest gave me a peaceful mind on a quiet and cold Saturday morning. Great hiking!

I love this forest. It has different parts of the forest, fields, rivers, ups and downs, and excellent cycle tracks. I recommend visiting
