Elgin Hiking Trail
The better part of our trail folows the Dodd Creek and the Kettle Creek through mostly Carolinian Forest and farm lands. The base of the trail is clay and sand.
Our trail starts in Port Stanley, at the main beach, where three carved wooden "post people hikers" are welcoming you to the trail, and ends at the junction with the Thames Valley Trail just north of the Hwy.401.
The Elgin trail is open to all able members of our community, membership to the Elgin Hiking Trail Club is not mandatory but recommended. Adherance to our Trail Users Code is required.
