Trails
The park possesses an extensive trail system comprising:
- old roads associated with the farms in the area, including one connecting the Old Sambro Rd. in Spryfield, and Goodwood (on the Prospect Rd.), and another from Goodwood to Harrietsfield,
- The "pipeline trail", above the pipeline between Pine Hill to Long Lakes. Most of this has unfortunately become flooded and swampy in recent years, hence impassible,
- older trails associated with habitation, watershed usage, quarries and general uses such as fishing, swimming, berry picking, hiking and hunting and
- newer trails developed by mountain bikers, as discussed above. Many of the more extensively used trails suffer from erosional problems, and various remedial proposals including trail closures, have been discussed as part of the creation of the park's development plan. It is interesting to note, however, that the majority of the damage to the trails occurred during the drop of mountain bike use and the increase in hiker/dog walker traffic,

Famous quotes containing the word trails:
“My noisy denunciation trails off in doubt.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
