AllTrail Map of Chickadee Trail
Chickadee trail was a nice but short hike in Birds Hill Park. It is largely a green tree tunnel with very little elevation change though there is a look out tower and a warming shack about 1/4 of the way along it.

The look out tower gives a view of the tree canopy, but isn't quite tall enough to give a grand view.

In Roslyn's words:
The Chickadee trail is a lovely little walk in Birds Hill, emphasis on the little. It may have been because I thought it was 6 km instead of 4 km, but I almost found it too short. The trail features a lookout about ¼ of the way through the trail but the view was kinda disappointing. The tower needed to be about 5 feet taller as I could not really see over the treetops. It was a very calm evening and the bugs were not bad considering we were in the woods in the later part of the day. I would definitely do this trail again as part of a multi trail day at Birds Hill and would highly recommend it as a first hike for those wanting to test their physical hiking capabilities on a gentle trail.
There's not much to say about this one except that it was a pleasant evening stroll.
