A VISIT TO HIGH KNOLL PARK IN SURREY MAY 21, 2020

This park is located on the eastern boundary of the City of Surrey on Colebrook Rd and 195 Ave.

It has two parts on both sides of the road - the upper part is the original - a mixed forest with trails extending a distance - crossing a hydro right of way and then re-entering a more dense forest with a number of stunning old stumps - one is estimated to have had a tree that would have been about 200 years old.

The area also contains a bike park.

I then returned back to the parking lot and went to explore the northern part of the park which is an old farm site that was donated to the City of Surrey.

This part of the Park consists of the wetlands of the  Nicomekl River - I ventured down to the bridge over the river - it isn't far from it headwaters so it isn't a big river.

After that I returned to the parking and went to explore the Cairn explaining the recent addition to the park.

Further exploration led me to find what looks like and old orchard or flower garden. Rhododendrons and other flowers were in bloom.

Then it was home to relax and dinner which was Turkey Sheppard's pie, new potatoes and carrots.
