Pinhey Forest

If your looking for an easy walk in the woods this is the place. The trail is very easy that gives a peaceful walk though the woods.Perfect for families with small children and pets.

One of my favorite inner-city trails. Great loops with a good amount of distance for a quick walk or run. Beautiful trees all year round.

Probably one of my favourite short hikes to go on. The terrain's pretty flat and even (except for two very short steep-ish segments of a couple strides), but there's enough different paths to keep each hike interesting. I found the paths well maintained and hikeable all season. No flooded paths. There are also narrow off-path paths you can explore too if you feel up for an adventure. Parking is plentiful behind the sports centre. There's also a section that faces another parking lot (closed to cars) where you can cross Slack Rd. into another smaller trail area. It's a bonus that it's so close to the city. Really just a few minutes' drive from Costco...

Lovely forested area right beside the Nepean Sportsplex. Nice wide flat easy trails. Very busy with lots of strollers, young children, runners and cyclists. Bring bug spray in warmer weather.

One of the best short winter hikes in the the city. Free parking available. Public washrooms(I've never used though). Several routes and most of them are around 3km for a round trip. Lots of evergreen trees. It's always good to see some greens during the winter.

Excellent trail, easy terrain, and can do short or long versions. Great trail marking so can't get lost. Beautiful forest and perfect nature escape from the city. Family friendly terrain and trail length. Really enjoyable!

This might be my favourite spot in Ottawa to go for a hike. It’s quiet, there’s plenty of parking and it’s beautiful. I always forget that I live in the city when I come out of it because it’s that secluded once you’re inside.Be prepared to hit some snowy spots in the winter!

What a Gem...Absolutely Beautiful and Peaceful..Yes lots of Trees down...but the paths are clear..Been coming here since the 80's
