Sassafras Point Lookout — Attraction in Hamilton

Worth the hike to Sassafras Point Lookout. It was the end of March so Sassafras trail was fairly muddy--nothing unexpected for this time of year. The trail can be reached from other trails, and all part of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The RBG does a great job with all the trails and gardens! Check them out!

I am exploring all hiking trails in the area. The hike to Sassafras Point Lookout was great. It was the end of August, and it rained a couple of days ago. But the trail was fairly dried and accessible contrary to my expectations.

The trail is not too long. We paked on the Parkside Dr. and took the Ravine Road trail to get to Sassafras-point trail. If one doesn't have a lot of time. They can also access it from Caleb's Trail and walk it in less than an hour.

Spring or early summer may be a good time to capture nice snaps before the algae grows...
