About Us
The Woolwich Trails Group promotes hiking and biking in the Township for the purpose of transportation and recreation. It
works with the Region to incorporate trails into the planning process, and recently spearheaded the local "Adopt-A-Road" initiative
to encourage local groups, organizations and businesses to take responsibility for the beautification of road sections.
Woolwich Township boasts 10 public trails totalling almost 80 kilometres (see a map).
Trail uses in the Township include walking, running, cycling, cross country
skiing and snowmobiling where designated.
You are invited to discover our local pathways and those in the surrounding areas by participating
in walks that are hosted by this group. For a schedule of the hikes that will take place in 2007 please
click here.
The group also distributes the Woolwich Trails guidebook with maps and descriptions of all the local trails. For information on where you can obtain a copy
of this guide, please click here.
