  Beautiful trails for hiking, dog-walking, and running. We felt like we had completely left the city. There are enough trails here for at least 2 hours of hiking with very little repeated sections. The main entrance is off of Columbia Forest Blvd, but you can also enter from Laurelwood Dr.

  We live in Clair Hills and use these trails all the time for daily walks and trail runs. When the leaves are full, you feel like you have left the city and are immersed in total nature. You get fully re-energized after walking in this wonderful serene forest. Watch for deer, raccoons, hawks, garter snakes and lots of different bird species. Lots of wonderful wild-flowers and sometimes some very interesting moss and fungus. We take 8-9 km walks through the trails. Not a huge size, but big enough to get a good daily workout in. You can take different trails all the time to mix it up. There are many different entrances from the suburb areas surrounding the forest.
