This 2.5 kilometre footpath runs from Ogilvie Street bridge over the Spencer Creek, and west to the Mill Street bridge.
The Trail is, at present, a natural footpath which is not accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
There are signboards at all access points, including McMurray Street and Creighton Road, as well as yellow diamond markers along the trail.
Parts of the trail are on private land and the eastern portion of the trail is not yet complete.
Across Cootes Drive, the Royal Botanical Gardens trails continue along the south shore of Cootes Paradise to McMaster University, Westdale, and Princess Point.
