History If you are visiting this page for the first time, we want to welcome you to the Lambton Outdoor Club and give you a taste of what the club has to offer. If you are reading this as a member, we hope that you will be encouraged to welcome and mentor newcomers. For the past 35 years the club has been built on the passion of its members who enjoy the outdoors. We are active in all four seasons with hiking, paddling, and cycling in the warm weather. In the winter we have cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and snowshoeing events when the snow makes an appearance. The stalwart hikers maintain their outings year round and we round things out with group camping trips. Recognizing that people’s abilities and experience vary tremendously, we offer different skill levels in all of our activities. If you enjoy an easy walk, it is probably unwise to consider an all day Bruce Trail hike, or if you are a city cyclist then an 80 km bike ride is going to be a challenge. However, the club encourages you to set your sights high, and work towards challenging goals. Many of our members have participated in multi-day, long distance cycling trips, an amazing experience and so much more enjoyable in the company of others. Some members have hiked the entire Bruce Trail over a period of years, and others have paddled remote Northern lakes.
Getting Involved The club is not only about achievement, we are known for enjoying a good snack together and social time after our activities. In fact the social aspect is an important part of our DNA. Starting the year with a New Year’s day pot luck, and finishing with a Christmas dinner banquet. It is fun and enjoyable to meet other outdoor-minded people, who relish the challenge and satisfaction of mastering road, trail, or lake. Our club is run by volunteers, and is sustained by the desire and ability to be involved. Our outings/events are organized by coordinators within our membership. Council provides vision and leadership to maintain our systems, programs and technology relevant to members' needs and the culture.
Our Mission To provide year-round opportunities for our members to enjoy a variety of organized activities including hiking, cycling, paddling, skiiing, snowshoeing, and camping. During the year of our 25th anniversary, we selected a tag line: “Hike, Paddle, Ride… Smile”. We hope you find much to smile about as you explore the great outdoors with Lambton Outdoor Club!
