I did a 2-mile hike from the trailhead off Canyon City Blvd. It was a nice trail in the woods with one place to access the river. At the end of the trail, there was a nice bench with a view of the oak savanna. The is a grass opening here and I hiked up a bit for some views of the other side of the river. This would be a great place for birding. In retrospect, I should have looked at the area on Gaia Maps beforehand. I would have seen that most of the trails are on the other side of the river. Also I was in shorts and sandals so I definitely was sticking to the trails that had been mowed. Next time I will go to the other side and wear long pants. The next day I paddle up from Dundas to the wilderness area. That was fun too. In mid August, I didn't encounter any mosquitoes.
