Description
The trailhead is located off of Falls Road with available parking for 15-20 cars. You'll see multiple signs stating that dogs must be leashed. To get to the Blue Trail, the first half of your route will be along the Red Trail which then splits into the Blue Trail (to the left) and the Red Trail (main trail to the right). The Blue Trail is still a very well-maintained trail with minimal wet areas. The Blue Trail is shared with the occasional bike rider. Dog owners have been know to get the occasional fine when having their dogs off the leash (more likely on the main trail). This trail ends at L'Hirondelle Club Road and unfortunately does not loop back to the Red Trail so you'll have to retrace your steps. Overall, it is an easy and flat route on a well-maintained trail along the creek.
