DOWNLOAD the NEW 2023 OXFORD TRAILS GUIDE (large file will take a while to download) TAKE A HIKE 2024 Presidents Message: Dan Molinaro June 1st 2024 is International Trails Day and Oxford County Trails Council is well advanced with our own plans for this special day of local festivities. Branded as Take a Hike, Oxford! we will be offering no fewer than four locations in Oxford County where people can come to learn more about our wonderful trails network and participate in a wide variety of activities designed to bring nature, and our shared responsibility to protect it, deeper into our lives. Combining knowledge, physical and mental health is vital to our wellbeing and we recognise this starts from an early age and can last a lifetime. So, the activities at our four public sites will feature fun for kids and parents while catering for those who wish to explore each trail, with or without a guide, and perhaps capture their experiences with their camera or other mobile device. We have teamed up with several Woodstock area partners to allow up-close and personal and handson experiences to encourage a broader understanding of local nature, our environment and the many related, local resources available to us. The four locations we have selected are as follows: Herbert Milnes Park Woodlot Patullo Avenue Woodstock - John Lawson Trail Wonham St. South, Ingersoll - Hickson Street North 99 Loveys Street Hickson - Oxford Thames River Trail 454779 45th Line Beachville. Each location will be open from 10am to 2pm, rain or shine and will feature sanitation and hydration facilities. Bring your own water bottle, snacks, bug spray, sun screen and outdoor foot ware. Free parking will be available. We would like to thank our event sponsors who have made this festival free of charge for visitors. Help us promote this event.
