The Lynn Valley Trail is an 11km old rail line trail that starts in Port Dover and ends in Simcoe.
In Simcoe this trail meets up with the Norfolk Sunrise Trail, giving you the option of continuing on to Waterford, or heading towards Delhi.
Starting at Silver Lake in Port Dover, you’ll pass sections of forest and grassland that will make you forget you’re in Southern Ontario. This trail is almost always covered by trees and shaded from the sun, with a few open areas near a grassland and a field. This trail passes over a number of rivers and creeks on beautiful old, well-maintained wooden foot bridges. In Simcoe, it meets up with the Norfolk Sunrise Trail at Victoria Street, just south of Clifton Park.
This trail supports a variety of uses, including walking, running, biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and is wheelchair accessible.
