The Fern Trail at Minnekhada Regional Park is a lovely shaded path through second-growth forest, linking the Lodge Trail to the Quarry Trail and High Knoll. It’s relatively steep in sections but well-marked, with dense ferns, mossy trunks, and a quiet, enclosed feel. It’s a fantastic connector trail, with options to access higher viewpoints or complete longer loops to explore more across the park’s eastern ridge.
