Wildwood’s four hiking and biking trails range in length from 1.2 kilometres to our 25 kilometre lake trail. All trails are multi-purpose and can be used by both hikers and cyclists, by permit only. The trails cover flat and rugged terrain with areas of steep hills, exposed roots and rocks. Plan ahead and know your abilities as well as the areas through which you are hiking or riding.
All trail users must have with them a seasonal cyclist/pedestrian pass or a daily pass receipt. Trail pass revenue contributes to trail improvement and management.
Please be advised that we have re-routed the path to get back to the lake trail. If you are heading clockwise on an even day, you will notice the lake trail starts with the grass section leading towards the pool. From here follow the “lake trail/follow road to trail” signs mounted on trees along the way. This will get you back to the forest entrance. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask and thank you for your cooperation.
Please note Wildwood Conservation entrance fees are applicable.
We would also direct you to read our DISCLAIMER and our TRAIL USERS CODE.
