| Event Description |
Fanshawe Lake Trails/ Fanshawe Conservation Area
A 20 km loop trail travelling around Fanshawe Reservoir. Spectacular views, all kinds of wildlife and a variety of terrain.
Trail is open to cyclists who travel counter-clockwise on odd numbered dates.
The hydroelectric plant at the base of Fanshawe Dam generates enough power to run 300 households.
(This is one of the conditioning hikes required for anyone considering the Bruce Trail hikes.)
As this is a conditioning hike for the Bruce trail it is highly recommended that you wear the boots and carry the knap sack you plan to take on the Bruce Trail.
