A great view, and the best part is that it is in the middle of the city! A little hidden oasis! Thanks

This was my first trail not marked "easy", and it was more than I had planned on, with ambling over rocks. However, it was well-marked and a lot of fun! I think the rocks would be too slippery in the rain, so this trail is best for a dry day.

I agree with Steve - this is a FABULOUS trail! It's somewhat challenging, and provides the adventurer with beautiful views of the City, without the noise. It's a small escape...well worth the walk.

Oak Forest

A quiet oak forest is concealed almost in the centre of Sudbury. This tranquil glade, just a stone’s throw from the Blueberry Hill Loop, can be accessed from three separate entrances in the Minnow Lake area: off the Lonsdale pedestrian/cyclist pathway; at the base of the hill behind Minnow Lake Place on Bancroft Drive; and at the very end of Hillside Avenue. Hikers will discover that the climb is a bird lover’s paradise with sparrows, robins, woodpeckers, and chickadees in great numbers. There are also lookout locations that provide amazing views of the City.
