This boardwalk leads to a fantastic viewpoint for close-up access to the marshes of Cootes Paradise within the Royal Botanical Gardens’ North Shore trail system. Extending through wetland habitat along the water’s edge, the boardwalk offers opportunities to observe aquatic plants, waterfowl, turtles, and other wildlife in one of the region’s most significant natural areas. The viewing platform overlooks Cootes Paradise, a large coastal wetland that is the ecological centrepiece of the RBG nature sanctuary.
