Houlgate Creek Park

Located at Deep Dene and Stevens Dr. Access via ???

This park sounded cool from its name, and apparently there's a trail leading to it somewhere. However, the closest thing to a trail I found looked a lot more like the edge of somebody's front yard than a trail.

But here's what it looks like from Deep Dene (that's a street for those not familiar with the strange British Properties street names):


It looks all nice and lush... now if only I could figure out how to get in there...

Good: green, cool name
Bad: why can't I find this trail? I'm awesome at finding trails

  1. I grew up on Stevens Drive, with Houlgate Creek in our back yard - went down there many, many times.

    The best way of accessing this is probably from Rabbit Lane - hike up from there, and then turn left to go up the creek. There may still be remnants of the swimming pool that ended up falling down the ravine quite some years ago...

    We lived near the top of the creek, and always ended up with confused hikers ending up hiking out through our back yard. It is (or was) possible to get in through Deep Dene, but it was pretty overgrown.
