Beautiful place, if you want to relax just visit this place. You will enjoy the nature, the birds etc... It is a very nice trail as well, perfect for families and kids.

Beautiful no beavers tho

One of the most photogenic places in Kanata North A locals favourite walk. The beaver pond is located in Kanata North, in the heart of so called Kanata Lakes area. It forms part of the wetland, hence there are many species of birds, insects and small mammals who live there. It’s also home to some migratory birds like the Canadian geese, you can see them throughout the summer and early fall. The natural path around the Beaver Pond is an easy about 3 KM walk, dog and kids friendly and is nicely maintained. In the fall when the leaves turn red and orange, the area south of the parking lot is a great spot to take stunning photos. Many professional photographers also come here and take outdoor family photos for their clients. There is an actual beaver living in the Beaver Pond, his dam is nestled in the reeds. See if you can spot him next time you visit the Beaver Pond. :)

Beautiful place for a walk or bike ride, I only hope the developers keep it as it is and do not year it down to make houses or "city" parks. Just leave it alone.

A Mirza

Thank you to all the volunteers who keep this special place open

Brian McKittrick

Beautiful place for a walk or bike or just sit and enjoy the view or feed the ducks or geese.

david gott

Really nice sunsets, thick ice to skate on the winter, but Canada geese are vicious. Cool beavers as well

Viviane Côté

Love to run, bike, skate, walk here.

Ankush Sharma

Its a gem very peaceful. Good for yoga and meditation.

BT Armistice

Nice spot for a late night skate. The community really keeps the area clear and open for people to use.

Jamie A. Vincent

Just like in cartoons

Laura Kelland-May

Lovely place to relax and watch some water fowl

kazumi makwana

Nice place to sit, relax and watch those calm little waves in the pond...not good for hike as the trail has lots of invasion by commercial house. I was very much cautious not to step into someone's backyard as its confusing. May be on the other side of the pond there might be good trail as I saw ppl with bikes.

Rada Marza

It's so nice place,but really small trail

Chris McMillan

While this is still a very pleasant park, there is much less wildlife and far fewer trails than there were a few years ago before the old growth forest to the north was clear-cut and blasted. Connectivity with the Monk Environmental Forest with its trails on the other side of the clear-cut, has also been lost.

Ovidiu Dumitriade

Beautiful place, perfect for a walk around the lake.

Nina Almeida

Gorgeous setting just wish they would stop cutting the trees around the pond.

Deshna Kanesalingam

Blue Boy Bellamy

Paula

Gorgeous well maintained path that is a regular part of my 5k loop.

Maria Leticia Tkach

What a beaytiful site. Perfect for a Fall photoshoot!

Justin Barracosa

Fun little pond filled with bullfrogs and minnows; didn't see any beavers mind you. This is NOT a place you'd like to go swimming! ;)

Svatava Petkova

Pretty place, no beavers though, but I do not hold it against them (there is a construction site nearby which must be pretty annoying for the beavers)

Brett Woods

Great spot to view the fall colours. The whole trail around the pond is a good length for an afternoon hike. We spotted ducks, the usual forest wildlife, and a few garter snakes hiding in the leaves.

Elements4to8 Corp

Nice place for a walk or bike ride year around. It is a shame the inescrupulosos builders started to close and ruin one of the best natural spots in Kanata north

Poseidon's Herald

Super

Great place to walk and watch birds.

Kamalesh Kasinathan

Nice quiet trail. Despite the mosquitoes. Good walk

Wayne Chung

Great view

Sunny Yu

Great spot for watching animals, and enjoying nature. I walked the trail here but I find it a bit short. I did see some animals I don't regularly see like mice, and an unknown bird species. Great way to spend your afternoon.

Cobali

One of the best park I ever saw before. this lake is wonderful for walking, I thought to keep it as a secret for myself but I have to say what I saw today. It is very quiet and beautiful place to walk and site there listen to birds ????

Lucien Potvin

A calm, quiet oasis! L.

(Translated) Before passing through passport control, you need to fill out an electronic form, get a photo, with this to the customs officer. The rules related to COVID are constantly changing, because of this, the organization of the process suffers. For example, they sent it to the test, glued a colored label on the passport, and at the stage of registration for passing the test, the employee glued this label with a barcode, as it turned out, in vain, because when passing the test itself, there was a hitch for 30 minutes. But the staff was so polite and so sincerely apologized that you can only smile. (Original) Перед прохождение паспортного контроля нужно заполнить электронную форму, получить фото, с этим к таможеннику. Правила, связанные с COVIDпостоянно меняются, из-за этого организация процесса страдает. Например, послали на тест, приклеили цветную метку на паспорт, а на этапе регистрации на сдачу теста, работник заклеил эту метку штрихкодом,как оказалось, зря, т.к. при сдаче самого теста, вышла заминка минут на 30. Но персонал на столько вежливый и так искренне извинялся, что можно только улыбаться.

Usama Halow

It’s not suitable for picnics but very nice for biking, walking and enjoying the beautiful lake view. it has parking and benches available

Great idea to have multiple ice pads with shovels!

The beaver pond is a beautiful place to relax. There are walking/biking trails and it is dog friendly.

Love this place. Every day it looks a bit different. Peaceful and a great place for a short walk.

Gorgeous walk around the pond

alot of duck and goose droppings but other than that very nice.

Yevgeniy Shibaev

Loved the ice skating there. Pretty nice place for ice skating on a good sunny winter day.

Emily Skublics

Lovely spot for walks, bike rides, and spotting wildlife.

Ghyslain Laramée

Nice path to walk in the city.

Chris Evans

It used to be a nice spot for a walk before big money got in the way and started cutting trees down to make way for houses. Now the trail is half closed and the other half has been decimated by Emerald ash borer.

Kyle Nolan

Beautiful walk, lots of small wildlife, great place to see birds and squirrels. Pond hockey in the winter if you are willing to shovel.

fw t

Beautiful loop around the pond (2,5km exactly) for running and walking. In winter, there is a 430m skating rink and a few hockey ice of decent size in the middle. Seems entirely maintained by users. Ice is surprisingly nice and flat !!!

Mike Mathieson

First time in years where it feels like it is being treated like a place to be enjoyed in the winter. Whoever is tending the surfaces, please keep doing it!

Hasan Mahmud Tipu

Nice place for winter activities

W Wang

Next to the neighborhood in Kanata, it's a quiet, very calming and beautiful place to relax. Easy access for the locals. You can either have a short stroll or simply watch the scenery in front of you.

saurabh banerjee

Very nice to talk with chartering of Bird's.

Streetcar68

Sweet image !

Mark Doucet

wael maharsy

Very beautiful scenery

Navbir Sidhu

Hidden lil gem!!

Shrestharth Ghosh

Its beautiful please visit during fall for colours

Jordan Lyelee

Good place to fish

Salma Matty

Beautiful area to walk around.

Jason M

Nice path if I don't think about how amazing it was before the developer "accidentally" destroyed a big chunk of the forest and the city let them get away with it but sad to see when I remember how it used to be... So, don't think about that and just enjoy how lucky we are with forests like this still in our city for now...

J Lavoie

Good walking area

Nam Tang

This is a not too long hiking trail around the pond. There are some elevations part but mostly flat surfaces. There were no more leaves on trees but I would imagine a lot of shade on this trail during summer as there are many trees. Also, this trail is running along the backyards of many big houses or mansions!

Rhonda Hanson

I've moved away but still my go to place for serenity..worth the drive????

dave oelrich

Beautiful trails

Debbie Wright

It is a beautiful spot and a nice trail. From a photographing perspective it is beautiful in the fall, not so much in the winter.

Ross Howell

Nice walk around the pond Lots Canada geese

Michael Steele

Great place to think.

Steve

Great walk for the family. Takes about 30 minutes at an average pace. Easy to walk with kids. A bit confusing when you come out on to a road at the halfway point but you'll find the trail again. I wouldn't go near here in spring though since it's a pond/swamp and I'm sure the mosquitoes would eat you alive! Lots of construction going on near the trail when we walked it (new housing I'm guessing?).

Robbie Casselman

relaxing spot for a walk

Karolina Kural

It's a very nice walk. Maybe 30 min around the pond.

Jeff Berger

Great place to relax.

Andrea Smith

Beautiful place to walk in any season

Golden Mile

Not worth it

A.S. Reizinger

Just a wooded area to walk the dogs.

It is a quiet and beautiful place with pond, trees, birds and natural path.

Khad Abdullah

This is a nice, peaceful trail. Our dog groomer is nearby, so when one of our dogs gets groomed, we take the other two to this park. Even though it has some cyclists, it is a nice place to walk with your dogs. Some people also let their dogs off leash for a while as long as they can control them reasonably well, so they don't get in the way of cyclists.
