Description

Added by Thomas Ostapchuk

Great walking loop around the Woolwich Reservoir. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, family friendly!

One of the many entrances to the Lions Lake Trail can be found at the Crystal View Mennonite Church (marked on the map). The trail loops the Woolwich Reservoir and passes through tall trees, the Woolwich Dam, and through a local sugar bush.

On the north-east side of the lake you can choose to take the right fork through the sugar bush, or left to continue around the lake. The left trail makes the loop a little over 5 km, the right trail makes the loop 7 km.

This trail is family and dog friendly with a few lookout benches perfect for an afternoon picnic. After you're finished, head over to Elmira for a bite to eat or to pick up some local maple syrup!

Local here, main entrance is off Reid Wood Drive, and can easily be found if you google "Woolwich dam and resivior" once in the parking lot turn left towards the woods (big opening easily spotted), or to the right towards the dam. From Nov-May, you will have to walk down the drive, but there are several parking spots at that gate as well.

Start by parking in the lot just off of Highway 42, and check out the trail map. There is a maintained trail perfect for biking or walking, or a forest trail for intermediate walkers. A good way to do this trail is start by heading to the waterfall, then back up and follow the forest trail north until it meets back up with the main trail (about 3-4km). To the waterfall: Exit the parking lot by...

Walk along the Dumfies Road Trail

This little trail is located right of of dumphries rd (parking lot is hidden in some trees, be sure not to miss it). This trail is easy to follow and easy to walk. In the trail you can enjoy the local chickadees and herons while over looking small lakes. The simple walk allows for a bit of relaxation on busy days. A must try for passer-bys.

Fletcher Creek Ecological Preserve Loop

Fletcher Creek is an easy, relatively quiet, and scenic hike for those with an appreciation for fen plant communities – or the rarest type of wetland in Ontario, Canada. Along your hike you will encounter wide pathways, canopies of deciduous and conifer trees, a lovely creek, and the crown jewel of the experience: an abandoned quarry that features interpretive signs and a boardwalk along one ed...

Hike the Limehouse Conservation Area Loop

This CA is home to history and nature. When entering the trail and heading left at the first fork, you are later greated by "hole in the wall" where the trail descends into a lime stone crevace. Allowing you to explore the rock will hiking along the trail. Continuting the the far left of the propery, you will find a charming stream (where I cooled my feet), and then the monuments of the old kil...

Hike to Cataract Falls at Forks of the Credit Provincial Park

The main parking lot is off of McLaren Road on the north-east side of the park, with an honour-pay system. Multiple hiking loops are well marked, with clear "Falls this way!" arrows on every sign. There are some steep down/up walks on wooden staircases that lead to both the river fishing spots and falls-view lookouts. In the summer the wild grass fields make a great place for a picnic. In the ...

Hike the Mount Nemo Conservation Area Loop

This is probably one of my all-time favorite short hikes to do in Ontario during the fall. The hikes takes you to a breathtaking, panoramic view of the Niagara Escarpment that is blazed with fall colors. This family-friendly lookout trail should provide a very little challenge for older family members and young children. Once you park your car at the main parking lot, walk a short way up and yo...
