A great place for a quiet walk to reconnect with nature. To find a place for quiet to think. So there are 2 boardwalks one this year is under construction so currently u can only go on the one. Where u will see different flowers and birds if u visit at different times of the year. At the end of the boardwalk in the trees there is a almost 1 km trail that brings you to Adelaide st where u get a great view of the water. To your left u can see Red Bay beach.
A great place to see natures beauty. To hear it’s beauty. To feel its beauty. To let it into your hearts. There are two sides to this boardwalk. Summer of 2022 one half is under construction. Also that the end of the boardwalk in the trees there is another trail less than 1 km long that takes you to Adelaide street where you can get a great view of the water near RedBay harbour. Nice walk and very pretty.
Great Boardwalk and trail to see the fen and interesting plants therein. Parking is limited, but the trail is flat and easy to get through.
Beautiful place! Excellent opportunity to see orchids (when in season of course, we were too early but there are 14 species here) and pitcher plants. Easy and clean trails on boardwalks.
This is a great little nature reserve. If you a looking for a great view of the different types of biodiversity the Bruce Peninsula has to offer, this area delivers that in a nice easy bite sized package. There are two boardwalk trails. One is across the road, where a narrow boardwalk will take you on a key hole loop through the wetland. There it will be impossible to miss the pitcher plants and other interesting vegetation. The other boardwalk trail can be considered in two parts. The first, and main part, is a wide boardwalk likely suitable for wheelchair access and goes in a box shaped loop through bush and wetland, and on the side of the quiet road on the way back. The second part extends out after the first side of the box. This narrow boardwalk trail takes a largely straight path through the bush where you get the full sense of the different landscapes of the peninsula.
Good for an hour or two depending on how much you stop to watch the fish, frogs, and look at all the orchids.
