It’s so close to the city, yet so far away. Once you’re immersed in the trail, the hustle and bustle of the city falls away and you’re greeted by tree lined paths, ponds, streams, fern and moss covered trails and natural beauty. You’ll see people jogging, cycling, running and walking – all soaking up the serene beauty. There are many lagoons along the way and if it’s a nice day, take a swim, it’s guaranteed to be refreshing. Whatever activity you choose to do – it will be a spectacular outing.

Cautions.

A word of caution when crossing Selkirk Trestle after wet weather – it’s old and bumpy in certain areas and the surface can get slippery. If you’re on a bike, rollerblades or pushing a stroller – proceed with caution as excessive speed may cause you harm.
