Exit at Sunset Ave, continue through town, and loop back via the Bunny Trail for a scenic mix of forest, town, and river views.

For a quick nature break, try the 3.4 km out-and-back Quarry Branch Trail. Park at the Wallace Ballfield and access the trail across Highway 307. It’s a gentle, easy trail with some great forest views.
