     The trail is maintained by the Rotary Club of Alliston and is a wonderful loop walk with only one hill to climb.

   The property is in fact all owned by Honda, and has been made available to use by members of the public since 2004. The fields north of the Creek trail were reforested in the early 2000’s. I read in an earlier comment that the Rotary Club maintains the trail. I was not aware of that but Honda Associates maintain the trail one volunteer day in April and throughout the year as well with smaller work parties. There have also been a lot of additional trees planted yearly as well as blue bird houses and solitary bee houses throughout the area. There is a main loop trail that starts at Peace Park parking lot and runs alongside Spring Creek and then just east of an upper hardwood bush turns north and you can loop back west along the edge of the bush and along the reforestation fields. That full loop is about 3 kilometers. There are also smaller sub-trails in the reforestation field further to the east, and a couple of paths lead out to the road (Albert Street). There are various owl and woodpecker species along the trail as well as some small mammals. The trail can be used four seasons but the bugs are pretty thick in the spring and early summer. People are encouraged to stay on the trail to protect the Creek, which has sensitive fish species in it and is also prone to erosion. If you look closely there are a few Butternut trees along this trail which is currently a species at risk in Ontario.

   I’ve been going to Spring Creek for a couple of years now. I will usually go in the evening for a short hike with my son and dog. What an absolute gem for our community, we love it. The natural landscape and small wildlife make this a real treat.
