Eastern Canal Path

awfull, unsafe

June, 2025 by ycouvrette

we have riden this caw trail from Greenfield park going north.

The descrition says asphalt - gravel. It should be noted that in the section going north for about 10 miles maybe 10% is asphalt, the rest is sometimescompacted dirt and sometimes compacted bolder, so bad I broke my bike suspension seat, further more it cross busy 4 lanes boulevard with NO pedestrian or bike crossing ,dangerous at best, the car driver look like they are trying to get you.

May be ok if your are adventurous and do not mind getting run over at crossing, and if you are riding mountain bike or fat bike.

The trail have tremendous potential, it is not there yet, far from it.

Grand Canal Path

Nice, in some spots

May, 2025 by deenickels38

Not so nice in others: homeless and questionable activities. The path itself is great, wide and smooth. It was clear and clean in the distance I went. Some ducks and fish in the water, as well as a few shopping carts.
