While pedestrian traffic is welcome on the trails, Kawartha Land Trust does not promote this property as a hiking destination. There is room to park one or two cars at the trailhead, therefore please don't bring large groups to this site.

Please use the designated parking spot and be careful not to block Ayotte's Point Road.

The trails are unmaintained, but for the most part are in good shape and reasonably well marked.

Interesting Features:

The Darlings donated the Ayotte’s Point Woods to Kawartha Land Trust in 2017 through Environment & Climate Change Canada’s (ECCC) Ecological Gifts Program.

The area is situated in the Crooked Tree Brook watershed and contains a variety of wetlands including seasonally and permanently flooded areas.

This property includes upland and lowland Cedar forest, beautifully managed Oak stands, and some seasonally flooded areas full of wildlife.

Butternut trees, a threatened species, grow in some parts of the woods. Conservation of this property will ensure that the flora and fauna that live in the area will have a secure habitat for years to come.

There is a trail with red markers, one with yellow markers, and a connector trail marked with orange flagging tape.

A trail map is not currently available.
