Bypass Trail
Description
The Bypass Trail runs parallel to the Fisher Lake Road. It is mainly used by horses to access the Carriage Road Trail and Zoo Trail, from the equestrian barns in the center of the park. The trail is rough and rocky but makes a more interesting way to access the Carriage Road Trail than walking on the road.
