Sandpit Trail
The Sandpit Trail starts at the Terrio municipal park (18, Terrio Street ) and is a 2.4 km loop.
Along this trail, you will walk through a sandpit and come across a marsh, a stream, a maple grove and an observation point that allows you to admire a splendid waterfall that descends from the mountain and joins the Missisquoi-Nord River.

Good to know:

- As it is located on municipal land, this trail is open even during hunting season.
- This trail is accessible all year round (spring, summer, fall, winter).
Des Ruisseaux Trail
6 or 8 km (round trip), depending on where you park.
For the long route (8km), you can start in the heart of Bolton-Est, at Terrio Municipal Park . On its 1st km, the trail runs along the river on Terrio Street , crosses a 1st bridge, continues on Route 245 and Bolton-Centre Road, crossing a 2nd bridge that gives a splendid view of the floodplain on the Missisquoi North.
After a left turn onto Route 245 and at the next intersection another left turn onto Chemin de Bolton-Centre, we cross the second bridge and enter the forest for 3 km.
To enter the forest directly, you can use the parking lot located a little further on the Bolton-Centre road and retrace your steps. (See the map)
This trail can be done as a round trip (total 6 or 8 km, depending on your exact starting point). You can also do a loop by joining the Mont Foster trail, which is part of the Sentiers de l'Estrie network ($).
