This is one of many properties owned by the
Essex County Greenbelt. There is a good property description on this web site, and you can get a trail map there also. The property is effectively an extension of the enclosing Willowdale State Forest. The trails are closely integrated with those in the Forest.
The back portion of the property adjoins a swamp in the Forest, and is rather soggy in wet seasons.
The hours are not stated, but I suspect they are sunrise to sunset. Dogs must be kept on leash.
