Cherry Hill Gate is a hidden Gem! The trail is walking through a forest of lush greenery, stopping along the way to feed birds from the palm of your hand. What a Treat! Parking costs 1 to 3 dollars for the entire afternoon. The trail winds through the forest and opens into a sun filled marsh teeming with wildlife, ducks, fish, hawks, blue Jays, sparrows, chickadees, kingfishers.....I can go on and on, I am sure there were more species of bird and animals than I saw that day. I saw a muskrat further into the marsh.....the animals are unafraid as there is no threat from those who visit. You must stay on the boardwalk while there, but that's fine.....the wildlife is busy all around you. Great place to take the Kids!

The Burlington Waterfront Trail provides a wonderful experience for just about everyone. One may cycle, walk, jog or just hang out. The trail runs from the Hamilton Harbour Lift Bridge to the pier at the end of Brant Street. The main elements of the trail were made from a former railway line which ran from Toronto the the US. One of the main features along the way is Spencer Smith Park, home of the country's biggest ribfest as well as the annual Sound of Music festival. The park features a water park for kids as well as swings and a zip line. Spenser's restaurant is an upscale dining site with excellent meals and a grand view of Lake Ontario. Nearby, there are numerous restaurants along Lakeshore and Brant Streets. Parking is free along the beach boulevard on a first come, first served basis. The trail is also accessible by public transit. No matter the time of year, the trail is enjoyable and quite calming as the waves roll in.

The place to go, hidden but a jem nonetheless. The patio is a great area to escape the summer heat. Don't drive too fast down the hill or you miss it !
