Really wild, barely a trail, with cool overlaid map of elements of note, including the flora history. Perfect for a forest bath
Nice place if you want to walk in the woods..
Visited on a weekend morning in the winter with my puppy. We played fetch for a few minutes before heading into the wooded trail for a relaxing walk. The trail was well maintained and wasn't flooded in any areas we walked through. There was a helpful map to guide you through the extensive trail path through the suburbs.
My dog and I had an amazing time exploring Somme Woods after the large snowfall this winter. I was impressed that the snow had been stamped down along the trails such that I was able to hike without being completely engulfed. We weren't able to see every corner of these woods, which makes this a five star park, imo. :) Small streams and tiny footbridges add charm to this precious plot of land.
We went on a warm day in early spring. It was fun, nice and muddy :) I'd say it's not usually muddy, but it did rain several times this week.
