Description
The Red Loop Trail begins at the Bombardier Park West trailhead in Milton and forms a gentle circuit through the park’s wooded terrain. Starting near the parking area, the trail follows a well-maintained path through dense hardwood forest, with several signed junctions connecting to the Outer Loop and other spur trails. The route is nearly flat and offers straightforward walking on wide, compacted dirt paths. This easy trail is popular for short day hikes, trail runs, and family walks, with dogs allowed on leash. Expect occasional muddy sections in early spring or after rain, and icy patches in winter. Wildlife sightings are common—watch for deer, squirrels, and a variety of songbirds. The shaded path and year-round access make it a pleasant local option for forest walks close to town.
