Forty Mile Creek Park

Been coming to this ever changing location since 1967, where I smoked my first cigarettes and got in bits of trouble. It's a pretty and unique location, set next to one of the world's biggest inland freshwater seas, lake Ontario.

What a beautiful discovery! Took my mom post-surgery and was a lovely afternoon spent laying in the sun!

Loved the hiking trail just off the parking lot of 40 mile creek. Its not a long trail but its so scenic and crosses a wooden bridge that is closed but passable..a couple of the planks are damaged. The bridge is stable. The sides of the trail are ablaze with dame rocket and other wild flowers. There is a gorgeous wooden teepee lean-to dedicated to Terrabita that is fun to check out. Its a great starting point for a loop hike to nearby Beamers falls. Around 9.3km return.

I really enjoyed this park! Little bit of history beautifully displayed on Lake Ontario. People with SUP's, canoes, and swimmers. The trail the winds along Forty Mile Creek is kinda great but could have issues for those with kids. There is a lot of broken glass, some of it could be old, but just something to keep an eye out for. Part of the trail is posted as Closed because of a bridge that looks a little old. Use at your own risk! Saw a Kingfisher looking for food which was a nice surprise. Many ducks, gulls, and a few geese.
