It's a beautiful trail with lots of hardwood and an abundance of trails but be careful because it's very easy to get yourself turned around and takes quite a bit of time to get your bearings and head back to your car....Although these woods are beautiful they are really not properly marked as you can walk for a good 20 to 30 minutes before you find a marker and once you find that marker it can take another half hour to find your way out. Best to map it and take the make along with you. Other trails within the Durham Forest are properly marked ie: Wagg Road timber tract and Walmart Trail.

Our 86 year old friend B. has told us numerous times that there is a best kept secret when it comes to hiking within half an hour from the city. We could relate to his enthusiasm to show us what he meant after we have gone there with him this sunny crispy afternoon in late autumn: When we went into the parking lot, it looked as if we were just climbing up a little hill. When we are on top of the hill, we realized that we were in the middle of a family of breathtaking scenic spots: countless multi-generational trees casting their shadows on the multi-colored leaf covered trail, multiple hills holding hands with each other, and Lake Ontario at the far south. As we continued with our venture, we came across trails built exclusively for mountain bikes, boardwalks protecting us from the moldy muddy floors in shady valleys, bridges above a petite size creek that greeted us with her musical waterflow, Traces of farmlife inside the park and the relic of an old church building inspired us to celebrate the contributions and lifestyle of the first settlers in this community. I have amazed at some of the landmarks mentioned above, but have not seen them all in one park, and so close to my urban home in Toronto.

Like to walk, exercise your pet, ride mountain bikes, ski, horseback ride, geocache or bird-watch? On any given day, you'll see all of these activities in this gigantic recreational forest. A part of the Oak Ridges Morain and trail system, all outdoor activities co-exist

I'm not lying, the township actual has the honour of being the trail captial of Canada and Glen Major Forest and Walker Woods is the reason. These along with dozens of other trails within the Township of Uxbridge, give residents and visitors to the area a perfect opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors in all 4 seasons. My husband and I have cross country skied, snowshoes, hiked and biked on these trails. There's always a parking spot available at the trail head expect if there's an event going on, like a mountain biking race. If one lot is full you'll always find a spot at the next one. There are many trails to choose from so plan on visit more than once. Fall is one of my favourite times of year to visit. The colours are amazing! Be sure to bring your camera.Note, the trails are used by horseback riders too so make sure you have your dogs on a lease at all times.
