Wingate by Wyndham Kanata West Ottawa

This trail begins intersection of Terry Fox Drive and the CN Renfrew Subdivision railway. This loop joins the Outback and Ridgetop trails while passing the waterfalls located approximately half a kilometer into the trail. This is one of the most ecologically diverse areas within Ottawa and is home to rare plants and animals. From wetlands to the rocky Canadian Shield, South March Highlands Conservation Forest is great to explore for the whole family.

A mostly easy trail along this fantastic pond, any locals will enjoy these great views of the beaver pond, especially when the trees are changing colours. There are some sections that travel through some forest, but most of the route is relatively flat. Hikers remind folks that the northern section of the former loop is no longer accessible, so be sure to follow this southern section at all times.

This is a nice meadow and nature loop that happens to be super close to Ottawa, and is a nice short walk or trail run. The boardwalk is definitely the highlight, and you can also avoid this area during the spring and fall by taking the cycle paths instead when the water levels are high. You can extend the trail beyond what is here easily, this specific trail is otherwise very short. There are many different habitats to explore here.
