Hemlock Ravine |
Trail Summary |
|
· Located very near the city core. · Dog friendly and family friendly. · Large, safe and well maintained. · Originally a country estate for the Duke of Kent. |

Hemlock Ravine is a great urban park, right off of the Bedford highway, this park is tucked in behind some housing and apartment complexes but you would never know you are in the city once you enter the trail system. The trails are well marked and the paths are well maintained, very similar to Point Pleasant Park. Dogs are welcome and do not have to be on a leash in some parts of the park. The length of your hike can be short or long depending on what route you would like to take. Most routes are interconnected loops, the furthest point being the Ravine itself. The park is very scenic starting with the heart shaped pond at the entrance and ending with the large ravine at the other side of the park. The pond is a nice little spot and could be a great place for a small family skate in winter. It is highly recommended you check out the ravine, as it is the nicest feature of this park.
