Thicksons Woods

Much quieter and more peaceful than the public parks in the area. I believe that there are a good variety of birds and wildlife, but they are not as accustomed to the presence of people as those say at Lynde Shores. You will hear lots of birds, and if you are patient and bring binoculars you will probably see some, but don't expect them to get very close to you. They are really wild birds here, not tamed by thousands of people coming to feed them.

Great place for a quiet walk. Can get very buggy, especially after a good rainfall.

Love running and walking here! So quiet and pretty. You feel like you've escaped to a remote area. Well maintained, and people seem to follow the rules and not litter the place.

It's seems like a great spot for biking or even running, but not so much for a nature walk. The trail is paved and laned for bikes. My family and I prefer shaded, dirt path, forested trails and this one was not it. Maybe we just didn't go far enough in, or don't know the right spots but we found very little forest and wildlife which I was surprised by, given previous reviews. The paving seems new and well maintained.

One of my favourite spots to decompress and connect with nature.
Leave the cell phone in the car and just go for a walk and listen to nature and enjoy the sights and sounds.
Great all year round, careful in the winter, sometimes some slippery areas.
Keep your eyes to the tops of the trees, you might just get lucky and see an Owl or two!
