Entering the Valley Trail at (G16) from
Kincardine Ave. west of Fraser Dr. you will find remnants of an old brick
yard to the right. Winding your way down the trail keep an eye to the left
for a large pond and the beaver dam at the far end.
North from the beaver dam and following the river you will
enter a wooded area and then begin a short climb up a moderate slope. Just
ahead there is a foot bridge crossing a rocky ravine. Continue
along the heavily forested trail with the river on your left. The incline
to the right at (G18) will take you to the top of the ridge, Fraser Dr.,
and more trails. Fraser drive is also an excellent entrance to the Valley
Trail.
As you approach (G12) at the bottom of the ravine there is a
steep trail leading up to Fraser Dr. Continuing on to (G5) the bridge to the
left was constructed by the Canada World Youth Exchange program. The
bridge crosses a small stream. Then the path follows a steep hill to more trails in the
Lynden Estates area. Parking is available at the north end of Park St. for
those that want to enter the trail from this area (G01).
Just ahead at (G06) is a short trail crossing (at low
water) the river to join the River Trail (Red Trail) at (G19)
Continuing on eastward the trail to the right at (G13) will lead
toward the top of the ridge and Fraser Dr., but a more gentle slope will be
found further on at (G14). The trails now becomes a little more rugged, with a
few steep sections, eventually ending at Murray Blvd. (G09).
