Mainland North Trail The Google rating is 5.0

The Mainland North Trail is a multi-use 4.5-km (9-km return) trail linking from just beyond Washmill Lake Drive to Parkland Drive in Clayton Park, Halifax. The wide pathway has a compacted crusher-dust surface. Jogging is popular along this trail, and the hilly terrain offers a challenge to many! The 1-km wooded loop into the Mainland Common near Westridge Drive adds a quiet walk through natural landscapes, including overlooking a bog. The trail is maintained in the winter, so is no longer suitable for cross-country skiing.  Dog walking on leash is permitted.

The trail links several community assets, including schools, the library and the Canada Games Centre, to home and work along the route. Be cautious as the trail crosses several main roads.
