Lime Kiln Trail

Length: 6.3 km
Elevation: 68 m
Time: 1 hour 36 minutes

Lime Kiln Trail

Lime Kiln trail is a short, easy hike in Birds Hill Park that we did as a quick morning outing. The trail is nice and wide, smooth and easy to walk on. There is an out house partway through and a warming shack with a wood stove for going out in the winter on snow shoes or skis.

There were also many nice sights.

The smallest strawberries Roslyn and I have ever seen

Clear at the 1/4 and 3/4 distance

Like most of the short hikes, we found it to be a pleasant and easy going trip.

In Roslyn's words:

The lime kiln trail is yet another nice little trail in Birds hill where you will find a sweet tree covered path lined with pretty flowers and even the odd wild strawberry. I actually couldn't believe how small these strawberries were, absolutely adorable. This was another trail with an outhouse at the midpoint of the trail (at the lime kiln) which is really appreciated. A perfect trail for a leisurely stroll through the woods.
