Stony Swamp - Greenbelt West - Ottawa

Stony swamp in Greenbelt West makes for a reasonable hike, as you can extend the route with a choice of paths in the area, or get adventurous and try one of the unmarked trails (created by mountain bikers, no doubt) as we have done. Unless you run into a swamp, you will hit the road sooner or later. The terrain is flat. If you are looking for an easy stroll, you can stick to the main trails and the boardwalks.

We met a couple of girls decked out with elbow pads and full suspension mountain bikes on one of the marked trails. It looked like they were going downhilling. However, I could not see any hills for miles. Perhaps they were going somewhere else later, and since I do not see any photographers around, I'm quite sure they were not part of a shoot for a mountain biking ad :).
