The Mill Run Trail is a 5 km natural stone dust trail. There is a built-in boardwalk on the trail. The trail runs along the Speed River from Sheffield Street, under Highway 401, to Riverside Park, connecting Hespeler to Preston.
The trail follows the 1896 Galt, Preston, and Hespeler Electric Railway Line. It passes through the Chilligo Conservation Area and the former Idylwld Park.
At Riverside Park, you can cross through the park to the King Street Bridge to Chopin Drive and the Linear Trail.
Please note that due to the widening of Highway 401, there is a closure of the Mill Run Trail at the Highway 401 underpass for about three years, as of July 27, 2015.
