Peaceful walk in the center of the city

Quieter trail if you are looking to get away from the Deer Lake crowds

Whom ever made the elephant sighting sign is pretty funny but there have been bear sightings so please be careful with your children or pets.

Park at the north end of residential Sussex Ave. A few steps in you will see a signboard for the West Forest Trails. Bordered to the east by Royal Oak Avenue, it is not a long trail, but it is very twisty with a lot of ups and downs. The first fork goes south to a second choice of Kira Court or into Forest Glen Park. This is a large open park on a rolling hill. In the park, staying on your left you will see a trail that leads back down. The trail forks again going back to Sussex, or a right turn continues to Royal Oak Ave.
There are various small bridges and one large one that has a bit of a view of the wetlands and access to the stream. The hum of traffic on Deer Lake Parkway is always there, but it is still a nice atmosphere. You will see various small paths off the main trail. There were posted signs re bear sightings, so I decided not to investigate.
The trail does not terminate at Royal Oak as it shows on Google maps. You can continue on a path beside Royal Oak to Deer Lake Parkway that connects back to Sussex Ave. The path does show and continue to Deer Lake and its trails. Combined, you could turn it into an all-day hike.
West Forest Trails is a nice 30 min to 1 hour jaunt.

Love to bike on this quiet trail

Good all season crushed gravel trails for walking, jogging, or biking. Trail connects with Deer Lake Park through Royal Oak underpass and North-South Bikeway (Sussex).
