セントクレア郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Clearwater Community Centre Park sits on just over 13 hectares in the heart of Sarnia, Ontario. The park offers a variety of amenities, including playgrounds and sports facilities such as baseball fields, a sports centre, and tennis courts, as well as access to the Howard Watson Nature Trail.

Bright’s Grove is a lakeside community along the southern shore of Lake Huron. The area features waterfront parks, walking paths, and access to the Howard Watson Nature Trail. Even though it’s part of Sarnia, it still feels like a small village, with local shops, restaurants, and a close-knit community.

The Howard Watson Nature Trail is a multi-use recreational trail that runs through Sarnia and surrounding communities in Lambton County. Stretching about 16 kilometers. The paved path follows the route of a former CNR railway line, making it relatively flat and easy for walking, running, and cycling. The trail passes through tall grass prairies, forests, wetlands, and residential areas, offering a quiet green corridor across the region.

One of the wide gravel paths at Blackwell Trails Park leads through open meadow-like terrain and passes right by the dog park. It’s an ideal spot to walk your dog, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the open landscape.

The Twin Lakes section along the trail loop is a scenic spot within Blackwell Trails Park. This stretch is great for birdwatching thanks to the surrounding wetlands, and you might catch raptors soaring or perched nearby. It features a large pond with wide, open views and open grassy areas along the shore, an ideal place to take a break and sit at the open areas with water views.

Blackwell Trails Park features a wide, fine gravel network of loop trails that winds through meadows, wetlands, and a couple of large ponds. The trails are mostly flat with minimal tree cover, so it can get hot in the middle of the day, and it’s quite windy in the winter. Because there’s not much shade, I recommend going with a hat and sunglasses on sunny days.  Also, ticks are common in the long grass along the trail, so staying on the path and checking yourself afterward is a good idea. Enjoy the parks trails and take the opportunity to walk around.

An impressive structure that connects the USA and Canada.

Very pleasant to walk or cycle.
