Institute Woods

Lovely, easy walk in the woods. And.... You get to walk across a suspended bridge!

The woods are beautiful but beware of wild life! We took a beaten path to walk , somewhere to the left of the parking lot. As we were walking, we saw a huge animal about a mile and a half away. It was brown and black in colour, maybe a bear or something else ! It was HUGE !. We slowly turned around and walked off , praying under our breath. Everybody , please be careful.

It’s my first time hiking here in the woods. Due to the lack of marks at crossroads and Google Map’s misleading directions, a hiker as me even got lost several times. The trails are just like a puzzle. I saw three girls who also lost directions to the swinging bridge. Even though, overall it’s a woody park you can enjoy hiking either alone or with family or friends.

This was a really gorgeous hike. There are so many neat creatures to see. The suspension bridge was a really exciting find. Don't forget water and bug spray!

There are lots of trails there but surprisingly no trail map near the entrance! And no signs at all ! so highly recommend to have GPS on plus pick the right trail if you like to go towards the swinging bridge.
