Its a medium i tensity hike to the High Knoll but the view from there is breathtaking. Highly recommend if you love doing a spontaneous hiking trip as there is ample space for parking unlike most of the regional parks these days!

Minnekhada Regional Park is a great place for a variety of outdoor activities. With over 10 kilometers of trails, there's something for everyone from casual strollers to experienced hikers. The park is especially popular with dog walkers and families with young children due to the mostly easy and well-maintained trails. For a moderate challenge with scenic views, check out the High Knoll Trail. This trail offers a good workout with some elevation gain, rewarding you with breathtaking vistas of the Pitt River and Pitt-Addington Marsh. If you're looking for a shorter and easier option, the Low Knoll Trail is a great choice. This family-friendly trail is perfect for a leisurely stroll through the forest. While the views aren't as expansive as the High Knoll Trail, it's a peaceful option for enjoying nature. No matter which trail you choose, be sure to carry bear spray and make noise while hiking as black bears are active in the park. Overall, Minnekhada Regional Park is a beautiful and easily accessible park that's perfect for a day spent outdoors.

Majorly swooned by this magnificent place. Family and I hike here countless times, all year round. Several paths to choose from—never a dull moment whenever we’re there. My daughter has been hiking here since she was three and now that she’s six, she always asks to hike “the tough one.” Oodles of thanks to the kind folks who maintain the park so so so so well! It’s almost as if it’s untouched by man and so nature-lovers, you’re in for a sweet treat!

Beautiful park for an easier hike. Lots of parts of the trail are not even ground and there is one steep hill. Best to wear hiking boots. WARNING LOTS OF BEARS IN THE AREA. Be prepared with a whistle, horn and/or bear spray.
