Fanshawe Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fanshawe Lake is the focal point of the conservation area, stretching through a broad valley surrounded by forests, wetlands, and walking trails. Created by the construction of Fanshawe Dam, the lake is now a popular spot for paddling, rowing, fishing, and wildlife watching. This section offers wide views across the water and a chance to appreciate just how much green space surrounds the lake despite its proximity to London.

Fanshawe Lake Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Circling the entire Fanshawe Reservoir, the Fanshawe Lake Trail is a roughly twenty-kilometre loop that passes through mature forest, open meadows, shoreline sections, and a handful of creek crossings along the way. Built as a multi-use trail for both hiking and cycling, it offers a constantly changing mix of scenery rather than a single destination. The route follows the edge of the reservoir for much of its length, with regular views of the water and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife in the surrounding wetlands and woodlands.

Junction of the Monkey Wrench and Fanshawe Lake trails

Highlight • Trail

Monkey Wrench branches off the main Fanshawe Lake Trail and heads into a section designed with mountain bikers in mind. The trail includes a variety of technical features such as log rides, balance elements, and small obstacles that can be ridden or bypassed. Even from the junction, it's easy to spot the difference between the wider lake loop and this more purpose-built trail tucked into the forest.
