Walk or drive through Cornwall long enough and Guindon Park comes up. West-end river park for hiking, biking, BMX, rowing views, and winter ski or snowshoe trails. The big outdoor counterweight to the downtown waterfront strip.
West along Highway 2, Guindon Park opens into about 500 acres of trails, river access, the Cornwall BMX Track, and winter ski and snowshoe routes.

The Benson Centre remains the practical hub for permits and trail passes when someone wants to book a gathering or ride.
