Come out and join us in London for the fourth spectacular Walk of our 2008 season. 

Time:

10:00 a.m.

Start:

Park entrance.

The Walk:

5 - 10 k 

The Fanshawe Lake Trail is a 20 km loop trail that goes around Fanshawe Reservoir. The trail is accessed at the main entrance to Fanshawe Conservation Area, 1424 Clarke Road (just north of Huron Street).

The Lake Trail is open to cyclists and hikers from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.  Park admission fees are in effect.

The Lake Trail is also part of the Thames Valley Trail (TVT), which runs from the southern border of Middlesex County to the Town of St. Marys. The white markers on the west side of the lake indicate the main TVT route. The blue biking markers on the east side indicate the secondary TVT trail. 

Please note that while the Walk is free, there is a small entrance fee to get into the park. 

Low Water Crossings

There are two low water crossings on the trail, one over Wye Creek and one just south of the Thorndale bridge on the west side of the Thames River. During periods of high water flow, these sections of the trail may be impassable, in which case you will be asked to double back. Provisional data on the Wye Creek crossing are available on line. Trail conditions are also posted at the trailhead in the day use area (#1 on the map).
