Vansittart Woods
The trail loops through hardwood and pine forests.
There is one long incline, but the rest is relatively flat. It is hard packed earth.
This is great for cross-country skiing, although it is not formally groomed. This is an outdoor education centre for the students of the Thames Valley District School Board.
The public is welcome to use the trails. Environmental Centre and trails are in use from Sep-Jun, Mon-Fri 9 am-3 pm to which public is not allowed. Public are allowed to use the trails from Mon-Fri after 3pm as well as on weekends and holidays.
