Description
Please join us a car hike on Northeast Trail in Rouge National Urban Park. This trail passes through a variety of landscapes such as wetlands, forests, meadows, and farmland. Along the route, we will find seven boardwalks, including a pergola seating area with views of a marsh. Constructed with a durable fiber-glass substructure designed to last for centuries, these boardwalks represent one of Rouge National Urban Park’s latest eco-friendly projects.
This is a shuttle hike from Glasgow Trailhead to Black Walnut Day Use Area.
