Great trails loved the use of the USB charging ports and electricity that they have near the 10th Line stop was a great place to stop for a quick charge while my 8 year old did her homework. :)

Great trail for cycling and walking. You can find a very long one through farms land. Suitable for kids as well, there are not so many hills. There are a plenty of parking spots. Very peaceful place

Beautiful for a walk, run or bike ride. Wide gravel trail with a mix of sun and shade, through farmed fields and across boggy areas with lovely boardwalks. Some mild grades. Distance from Reesor Road Day Use parking to 19th Ave Day Use is about 3.5 km.

Sept 26, 2022 and it's a beautiful sunny Fall morning. The Parks Canada building & rest area at Reesor Rd is a quiet, clean rest area with picnic tables & benches. April 2023 Beautiful morning with the grasses popping their greens, the trees & wildflowers haven't fully showered yet. July 4, 2023. Hot humid morning after thundershowers yesterday. The foliage is vibrant green with different colored wild flowers. Sept 29 Beautiful 17C morning & the rest area is clean & tidy. Thanks Parks Canada for the big trash & recycle bins😊

Nice new trail, close to farmland and nature. I'll certainly be going back in all seasons when I have the chance and explore more. Hopefully get there on bicycle.
