With this notice, Friends disclaims any liability for accident, loss, injury, inconvenience, or any other damage that may be sustained by anyone using the information contained on this website.

The most notable sources for current trail maps include Halifax Northwest Trails; Halifax Trails.ca; and AllTrails.com.
Although the trails listed on these maps appear to be well defined, you may not find this to be the case once on site. Therefore, caution is recommended when navigating these routes. A lack of signage, dead-ends, split trails and poorly defined routes all contribute to challenging walks for first-timers. Even the more experienced hikers have been known to experience some turn-arounds.
