Middlesex County Nature Trails


Welcome to Middlesex County!

Middlesex County is a vibrant, growing collection of communities located in the heart of Southwestern Ontario.
We believe our continued growth and development is powered by a strong residential and business community that works in conjunction with a dedicated County Council on efforts that support our County Council’s mission statement:
“Through strong leadership, growth management, and partnerships, Middlesex County will enhance the quality of life and the economic, environmental, and industrial sustainability of the county.”

You will find some of the best hiking and nature trails in Ontario right here in Middlesex.
