Circuit 8 Trail Via Fisherman's Trail

Feb 17, 2020
We arrived at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve parking ares set to hike the Fisherman's Trail. The trail starts as a wide path following the river. Unfortunately, a large bright yellow sign stating "AREA CLOSED" was positioned on the trail. We stopped and wondered if we should move forward to see what the issue was that has the trail closed but decided it best to adhere to the warning. The signage clearly noted that we could veer left via the Circuit 8 trail to get to the Seymour Valley Trailway so we went for it. We climbed and had to move out of the way for a few mountain bikers as the trail is popular for mountain bikers. As we arrived at the top of the incline we could go left or right - we veered right as the trail seemed to follow the river but from a higher elevation. There were no trail markers and we did not have a map but the trail was well travelled as there were plenty of mountain biking tracks. Not much to see along this trail - just dense forest and some wooden boardwalks. As we approached the end of the trail, it simply looped and we were back tracking to the top of the incline. This time we chose to go right but the trail did not take us anywhere special, just another loop. We retraced our steps, headed downwards and back onto the open section of the fisherman's trail and made our way back to the parking lot. Not a hike I would do again. Hopefully Fisherman's Trail reopens soon.
