    Well maintained. The trail is paved with gravel. Parking at 19th is limited. Most part not covered by forest, but farmland and openings. It was windy, the clouds were beautiful. Out to Elgin Mills and back was about 6km. The trail was a little busy in the PM, especially in the weekends.

    This Trail is located 19th Avenue and Major MacKenzie. It is a great trail for walk and bike. I walked 6.3 km today. The trail path is wide and pretty flat it is quite easy to walk. Along the path there a lot of sitting areas, it is next to a farmland, the view is nice. I see kids flying kites. Lots of people bringing their dogs. I really enjoy this Trail. there is washroom facility. I find the parking lot is not too big, good days you might have to wait a bit for a parking spot.

    Good trail for bike riding, and very few people. However, it's not very scenic and there isn't a lot of cover for hot days. The entire path is gravel except for a few bridges. This path continues south of Elgin Mills for 1.25 km and then you walk back. Going south from 19th, it's downhill so you barely have to pedal but coming back north, you may end up walking your bike for a bit. I don't think I'd walk this.

    Beautiful scenery with well-kept gravel paths and boardwalk. There are multiple entry points, trails and parking lots. The trails are flat, wide and great for bike rides and wagons with family and children. This part of the national park features the agricultural view of Ontario. We have seen various unique birds migrating through, including a baltimore oriel, indigo bunting, and rose-breasted grosbeak.

    This is a well maintained 5km (one way) gravel surfaced trail that passes through farmers fields of corn and canola. It is very open and offers some nice expansive views. There are some fairly long inclines, but otherwise it's an easy trail for walkers, runners and cyclists with good parking and signage. Be aware that parts of the trail may be closed sometimes for farming operations

    A great place to view the Toronto skyline and to walk through a bit of the Oak Ridges Moraine. There's a good small gravel path that goes right to Stouffville.

    Furthest North parking lot to Rouge National Urban Park, great place to start your hike through the park with a pretty great view of the distant downtown Toronto skyline. Trails are well maintained and relatively flat. Great for a walk, bike or a wagon/stroller with large wheels

    Great place for a casual walk on weekends. Trail is nicely maintained and not crowded at all. Could use a few more parking spaces though.

    Rouge National Urban Park offers a picturesque biking path stretching from Stouffville into Markham, with future expansion plans into Scarborough. While not a traditional park, it provides a delightful opportunity to bike through nature, immersing oneself in scenic landscapes. The path's extension plans promise even more possibilities for outdoor enthusiasts to explore the beauty of the surrounding areas.

    Loved walking on this trail! There are two trails separated by the main road, the trail by the 19th Avenue Day Use Area is shorter while the trail to Reesor Road Day Use Area was longer and better for walking/hiking. The trail to Reesor Road is good for those that don't like forest-y hikes, this trail is full of fields for farming. It was very peaceful. The !9th Avenue Day Use Area also has washrooms available (not the portable kinds) which seemed pretty clean.

    A beautiful area for a sunset walk (or a walk at anytime really). The parking lot doesn't have too many spots just as a head's up. But the area is so worth it to visit. Excellent wide trail, spots to sit and enjoy the view! Can't wait to visit again!

    This place is a good spot to sit and relax and be one with nature. The trail is quite long and has lots of look out spots. I enjoy coming here a lot when I want to unwind. Great place to hike or take the dog for a walk.
