Elmira Lions Lake Trail - 7.7km

About hike: The loop around the Woolwich Reservoir is fairly flat and well marked, but it can get quite muddy after strong rains. Some sections enter beautiful, wooded areas, and then other sections follow along the edge of farm fields. Part of it goes up on a paved road however it doesn’t have much traffic. One stretch of the trail is through sugar maples, all with lines running for sap collection.
