Route Information
View Route Map
The Hope Walk is a 5k (3.1 mile) loop around Heather Farm Park. There are two options for shortcuts and turnarounds if needed. All are welcome to do as much or as little of the full route as they would like.
Note: Be aware that the route includes sidewalks and dirt trail paths in the Park and on the Canal Trail so the path can be uneven. In the second half of the route, there is a brief steep downhill section.
