Reviews
"Great mountain biking."
"A nice nostalgic landmark for Rock Circuit Trail, starting from Middlesex East parking lot and going counterclockwise. It let one know near home."
"Beautiful hike, not super intense, great place to forget about the city life for a few hours. For parking, you have to keep driving down the street, there’s two very small areas for about 7-8 cars"
"Can someone tell me where the entrance is. The 220 E Border road address is just a wooded area with no paths. I’ve driven there and walked there but can’t find any marked area. Maybe mapquest is incorrect. Would love to hike it but can’t find it - help? Will give a better review once I find it..."
"The hike up to the observatory is beautiful, we did it in winter with snow and greatly enjoyed it. The trails are clearly marked and well maintained. We had a snowball fight."
