Conroy Pit Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Conroy Pit loop is an easy and popular five-kilometre circuit through mixed woods and open clearings, with plenty of space for off-leash dogs and easy walking. The terrain is mostly flat, and while the nearby airport and hydro corridor add some background noise, the trail still offers a natural break from the surrounding suburbs. The loop connects to several other small trails in the park, for plenty of options to create shorter or longer hikes. It’s a practical, well-used route for locals looking to stretch their legs or let their dogs roam without having to travel far from home.
