Enjoy a serene walk from the north end of Tillsonburg over the Hawkins Bridge at Lake Lisgar. Stop for a break and enjoy the fountain and the gazebo overlooking the lake.
Mc Laughlin Way creates a connection between the Hawkins Bridge at Lake Lisgar heading north to Lisgar Avenue. The trail has a limestone surface.
If you want to continue along the rest of the Trans Canada Trail in Tillsonburg, continue west along Concession Street to Kinsmen Participark and take a break at the picnic area. If time is limited you can drive and park at Participark for a 2.5 km return trail walk . The Trans Canada trail continues over Baldwin Street to Borden Crescent and connects to the south end of the Trans Canada Trail at the Bridges at Tillsonburg Golf Course. The Tillsonburg portion of the Trans Canada Trail ends at Clearview Drive and connects with the Trans Canada Trail to Bayham.

I was really excited to do the new trans Canada trail from Tillsonburg to Delhi then was sadly disappointed in the fact that there was a section outside of Tillsonburg that ends and cannot be accessed for a block because it is still tore up and closed to public. Have to take the main roads around to catch it on other side to continue on. What a pain and I was not comfortable doing that on a busy road with the kids. Why is this section not done?
