Barnum Creek Nature Reserve
Highlight • Natural
Barnum Creek Nature Reserve packs a lot of wild variety into its 7 kilometres of trails, from mature maple forest and wetlands to old farmland slowly returning to nature. Opened to the public in 2020, the reserve follows land shaped by First Nations use, farming history, and long-term forest stewardship.
Watch for the creek’s changing moods as it moves from marshland to flowing water, and beaver ponds, creating habitat for herons, deer, moose, beavers, and plenty of birdlife.

Barnum Creek Crossing
Highlight • Bridge
This Barnum Creek crossing adds a small dose of trail adventure to the Heritage Hike. The log crossing is short but uneven, so take care, especially with wheels or mobility concerns. In the summer, the creek runs low, while springtime snowmelt gives it a livelier sound, perfect for a quiet pause.

Barnum Creek Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
This small wooden bridge over Barnum Creek makes a quiet, shaded pause on the Heritage Hike, with plenty of tree cover around the water. It also sits close to the short Ridge Trail and Waterfall Way, two easy detours that add a little extra variety to the longer route.
