Beautiful place with amazing view of lake, it’s very secluded and mostly empty. Sort of private place especially on weekdays. Parking is on the street and free. It has benches and lots of apple trees. The fruits usually appear in August and September. If you cross through the water channel (ravine) you will reach to the back of estate building and the beech which is amazing.

Nice small park linked with Joshua Valley's park trail. There is a huge apple tree to the lake.

On a clear day, there is a wonderful view of Lake Ontario. It also borders Mississauga and is the beginning and end of the Oakville Waterfront Trail. It is about 7 km from downtown Oakville and is a 14 km round trip walk. It is quite tiring, but a good distance for exercise!

Hey gang! Personally I love this spot! I go here to clear my mind, to get away from daily first world trouble...lol But really it is a nice quiet spot, to hangout. Skip rocks, kayak much? watch some ducks, geese and even a couple swans as well. And if you're a writer like me, I use this spot as a place to release my inner poet. On any note, it's definitely worth a trip down. Cheers

It is good for a short walk at lakeside on a sunny winter day. It is beautiful.
