Description from book: "Descend into the river valley to Beaverdam Flats Park. This flat route follows the river on paved, shale and dirt paths through popular forest, shrubs, and grassland. Beaverdam Flats and Carburn Park have been reclaimed from former industrial sites and now make up a single natural environment park. When the trees are fully leafed out, this extensive green space becomes a hidden oasis of rivers, lakes and plentiful bird life."

Please plan to arrive about 10min early so we can head out right on time.

I have not done this hike before so will be making occasional stops to check the map for directions.
