March 2, 2021February 28, 2021Easily the worst hiking experience I've had all winter. If you're thinking to yourself "well, I'm in Richmond Hill, I should check it out!" ... Don't. Plenty better trails in the area. If I could give it 0 stars I would. 2/3 of the trail is unwalkably icy, even with crampons. There are multiple places where you *will* fall, no matter which path you take. I ended up walking (dangerously) on a clearly melting and slushy pond because one place was that impassably icy and eroded. The other third is so disgustingly muddy that your feet will most certainly get stuck. It's just not worth it. Oak Ridges needs to do some work here.
February 25, 2021The actual Bond Lake loop is a prohibited area. I went out there hoping to do the loop, but stuck to the allowed trails that headed away from the lake. It was still nice, but wish I knew the restrictions ahead of time. Also, the parking at the lot was confusing. Lots of private property notices, but it looks like a few spots are permitted for the trail.
February 17, 2021Nice loop around the lake, bring crampons as it's icy.

January 6, 2021January 2, 2021January 1, 2021Great walk! also wanted to go around Bond Lake but the east and south entrance to the loop was too icy for us
December 30, 2020Nice trail, but part of the trail was off limits. We will definitely return.
December 25, 2020December 24, 2020A good walk just before the Christmas winter storm. it was slippery, wet and windy- it's hard to understand how animals endure it. Get out there and get wet!
December 23, 2020Treacherous!! Very icy, black ice, poor footing! Only for those with excellent footwear with exceptional grip!
December 20, 2020Really slick today, ground is still frozen but top layer of ice is melting. You’ll need good boots.
December 20, 2020Nice walk around a lake. Few people when I was there early in the morning.
December 19, 2020December 14, 2020I have been to this trail many times because it is very good i think. The water was very clear and beautiful
November 29, 2020Muddy in spots.
November 22, 2020This trail was long but nice and calming. We loved it and we can’t wait to do it again
