Five Points Forest Trail – approx 2.5 km
Walk through a range of habitats including meadow, young forest, mature forest, and a White Pine grove. The trail is easy and mostly flat although the terrain can be uneven and there are a couple of narrow stream crossings. Different loops mean shorter or longer hikes are available. QR codes along the trail link to a trail guide.
Parking – please park along the edge of the road adjacent to the meadow. Please be careful, there is little room on the side of the road.

Flora & Fauna:
One of the interesting aspects of this property is the fact that it is in the Carolinian forest zone but the canopy trees are representative of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence forest. Tamarack, a boreal forest species, is also present. But this is what makes the Carolinian zone so biologically diverse! Some plants we normally find farther north have colonized sites like Five Points Forest centuries ago and have never relinquished them to the trees from farther south.
