Itinerary description
This tract has all sorts of trails criss-crossing it. Take a picture of the map at the start/stop point (lots of parking available) and select a trail or grouping of trails that suit your time and energy (the northern portion suffers a little from road noise coming from Goodwood Road / #21). It is multipurpose usage and there were bikers, hikers and runners when we visited. It really is a great track for biking (see other Wikiloc entries) but works for hiking too and a portion of the TransCanada Trail runs through it.
The forest is mature, mostly deciduous and plenty of small wildlife in the area. Path is in good shape, well marked and several places had maps posted depicting all the trails (I counted 16 different named trails). And with hundreds of trail intersections it is easy to get turned around so a map (or photo of a map) is definitely recommended.

The tract's intersections were labeled (in case of emergency) but the maps posted did not have the corresponding information. Let me know if you have a map with the labels.... I'll post it. Edit: a picture of a map with the post markers is posted below (picture taken in April of 2019).

I have been on this trail many times. It is one of my favourite places.
Great place. Make sure to look at Derek's Wikiloc entry (Durham Forest Mountain Biking) for even more trail coverage of this site.
