They used to allow you access to the mountains many years ago. I remember going to them via a path back when I was in grade 6 (like 16yrs ago) but the path also allowed Bears and Cougars to frequent the trail around the loop and some people have been attacked.

You can see where the path used to lead when you're on the east side of the loop near the mountains by the overlook. They removed a HUGE hunk of the path and allowed the water to go between so people and animal could not cross over.

I remember the path that went up the mountain to some really nice waterfalls. Along the way our class got to see trees that were mauled by bears (shredded).

The loop is nice when the weather is fair. When you're walking on the dike portion and the sun is out you can get burnt really easily. There is no shade and the breeze is limited at times.

Though the view of Pitt Lake and the surrounded mountains is spectacular.

What a relaxing area and great place to do some bird watching. We watched a couple of Osprey dive into the marsh several times, trying to catch a meal. Eventually, they were successful which was sad but it was an amazing sight to be able to see nature so closely.
