South Dyke Recreational Trail


South Dyke 2This popular cycling and walking route starts at the foot of No. 2 Road and travels along the river in a predominantly agricultural area. Dyke Road provides easy access to off-road recreational trails and parking areas along the waterfront and eventually links to the interior Horseshoe Slough and Shell Road Recreational Trails.

The Finn Road Recreational Trail is considered part of this overall area and provides a change of scenery with a rural, interior link between No. 3 Road and Gilbert Road. See the South Dyke Recreational Trail map for this location.
