Victoria Park boasts incredible natural features, including a dramatic steep-sided gorge, ancient river channels carved into 360-million year old geologic formations, beautiful cascading waterfalls, and a stately old-growth forest containing 250-year old Eastern Hemlocks.  

Lepper Brook flows throughout the heart of the park and over the eons, has carved the deep gorge. From the gorge riverbed, the terrain rises by nearly 100 metres from north to south. The highest point is located near the entrance to the Railyard Mountain Bike Park, at 120 metres above sea level. Plateaus above the gorge have flatter areas and offer amazing views.

Trail surfaces consist of a variety of materials, including asphalt, crushed gravel, and crusher dust. Be wowed by the wooden plank bridges, boardwalks and dramatic staircases. Hundreds of metres of the trail network are wooden boardwalks that cantilever off the side of the gorge wall and wind their way up the Lepper Brook valley, and due to the extreme elevation changes imposed by the Lepper Brook gorge, there are numerous wooden staircases that ascend the sides of the gorge. Trails run throughout the entire park and there are trails for everyone to enjoy, including some for those with limited mobility.

The combination of natural experiences, cultural history, and numerous other recreational opportunities provides an unmatched experience for visitors.
