The Shagbark Nature Trail is located in Shagbark Nature Park on Burleigh Road. Over 4 kilometers of nature trails lead through this 64 acre wooded and meadow’d park that is popular among outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Interpretive signage throughout the park highlights its diverse character, including its geology, the woodland, birds, butterflies and other natural life, as well as a chimney swift tower. Please note terrain is hilly in some locations.
Trail is located on the west side of Burleigh Rd N, just north of Dominion St.

Just found this trail. There was lots of parking. The first part is a meadow and low brush. Further in, large trees and dense bush. There is a very well maintained pathway, about 6 to 8 ft wide. We were unable to complete our walk as there was a very large Racoon standing in the middle of the pathway and he was not interested in sharing. We will definitely return. I suggest good/comfortable walking shoes as there are some uneven sections of the pathway.
