Greystone Trails has over 14km of trails that now encompass almost the entire 430 acre property providing hiking, bird watching, wildlife viewing opportunities and enjoyment for everyone who chooses to take the time to explore.
The trails, which are about 10 feet wide, are a perfect place to exercise your canine companion(s) as well. You will traverse through 3 distinct micro-environments when you explore the entire property (lake, forest and plateau) each with its own flora and fauna.
The trails are open year round, and are groomed in the winter for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
Six ponds (Beaver, Escarpment East & West, Long, Creek and Corral) and five rest areas (with privies) located along the Main Loop are wonderful places to stop, rest and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Depending on the time of day, you might spot the recently-returned beavers working on their dam at Beaver Pond, a couple of very large herons feeding on the many frogs, an eagle, an unidentified bird (that could be a hawk or falcon … we haven’t gotten a clear enough view to identify it as yet), praying mantis, goldfinch, rabbits, wild turkeys or other surprises.
