Hendrie Valley Trails

Located on Plains Road, this thriving wetlands ecosystem is part of the Royal Botanical Gardens parklands. Free to explore, the beautiful sunny wooded trails circulate through marshes, on boardwalks and across small bridges. You'll see chipmunks, geese, turtles and tons of birds - bring feed if you want to see them eat out of your hand. You'll also see just as many photographers and birders! It takes about 60-90 minutes to leisurely explore. Paid parking is in the lot across from the RBG entrance. Once there, look for the large trailhead sign that says "Cherry Hill Gate".
