Discover the Millenium Trail System
The trail follows the banks of the Thames River, through mixed hardwood and softwood forests, marshland and some retired agricultural areas, some of which are slated for reforestation.
Hikers may spot the occasional deer, beaver, blue heron and other interesting wildlife. Blackberries may be ripe for the picking. Though the trails are not connected, they are in close proximity to each other.
