The National Capital Greenbelt features over 100 kilometres of natural trails, which link to the Capital Pathway network. Find all trails in the tables below, along with their length, starting point and policy regarding dogs.
Be considerate of others, respect nature and stick to the dog-friendly trails if you’re walking with your pet. For conservation reasons, dogs are not allowed on any of the natural Greenbelt trails in the winter. They are allowed only on the multi-use pathways and in off-leash dog areas (Bruce Pit and Conroy Pit).
Located in the southwest end of Ottawa, the Southern Farm and Pinhey Forest sector of the Greenbelt boasts the largest parcels of quality farmland in Canada’s Capital Region. The forest has 6.4 kilometres of nature trails open year-round. It is also an important conservation area which has a unique natural feature: Ottawa’s only inland sand dune complex.

The sand dunes of Pinhey Forest
It’s quite an unexpected surprise to enter the forest only to be met with sand dunes! The vegetation in Pinhey Forest was established on old postglacial sand dunes. This unique ecosystem is home to a number of plant and animal species that can live only in well-drained, open areas with exposed, fine-grained sand.
Greenbelt farms abound
This sector of the Greenbelt features farms galore. From pick-your-own to farm stores and year-round activities, this is an ideal area to visit a Greenbelt farm, and take home fresh, local produce for your dining pleasure. Eating well tastes so good!
