Maplewood Flats Conservation Area

Nice trail. Its conservation trail so please be careful. It was some great views of Iet if there is not cloudy or rainy. Its not far from the 212 bus station. You have to walk only 30-40 meters and you reach the gate from the bus stop.

Lovely little conservation area with a nice, flat path to follow around the grounds. Lots of different plant and animal life to see. Also, the former site of an squat community, there are some models of the former buildings.

The parking situation was confusing, because the employee parking area have 10x as many spots as the visitor parking. But the birds were adorable, and it's cool to have a natural spot in the city. The views across the water were entirely industrial, which is a bit of a trip.

Excellent serene place to visit for a stroll. Dog friendly and well maintained.

Easy hiking. Flat trails. All ages. Nice spot for young kids or seniors if a flat terrain is desired. Spots for birding, or short stroll. Accessible spot to get dose of nature without leaving the city: its a stone's throw from the highway exits/city centre. Nice look out points. Spotted yellow double crested cormorant fishing on the most recent stroll. Ospreys, and spotted towhee.
