About
Spanning 3.4km, the Fairy Vista Trail is a paved trail that will tour you through a multitude of landscapes as you make your way from end to end. As you travel along you’ll pass through fields and forests with views of streams and various wetlands. All types of non-motorized recreation are permitted and encouraged making this a great route to push a stroller while older kids pedal along on their bicycles. Dogs are welcome and while this is a popular spot to bring your pup, they must be on a leash.
Benches are situated along the trail at various points providing a great spot to sit and rest or to take in the beautiful views, as the name suggests! The terrain travels up and down several hills and crosses waterways over small bridges. You’ll pass by open fields and old farms and wind your way through mature hardwood forests where marker signs along the way educate Fairy Vista Trail users about the various wildlife and vegetation they may encounter. It is common to hear many birds singing or calling out to each other as you make your way.
Several access points allow you to choose the distance and section of the trail that you’d like to explore. The first access point is located at the beginning of the trail just off of Hwy 60 on Fairyview drive. This location offers streetside parking. The second access point is located on Grandview Forest Hill Drive just off of Hwy 60 at approximately the halfway point of the trail. This location has a dedicated parking lot which will be located to your right as you make your way in from the highway. From this spot you can do an out and back walk to either end of the Fairy Vista Trail. You can also access the end section of the trail from where it crosses Grandview Dr N, further east on Hwy 60. While there is no parking available at this location, the trail section beyond Grandview Dr is an enchanting forested walk that winds its way to the eventual completion point. In the winter, depending on conditions, the trail is also an enjoyable spot for snowshoeing.
