Happy   Trails! 

Woolwich Trails Group

Founded in 1992, the Woolwich Trails Group promotes hiking and biking on trails for health, recreation and as a low-impact transportation alternative. The group is also involved in trail maintenance and development. The Township boasts more than 10 public trails totaling more than 100 kilometers (see our map). Trail uses in the Township include walking, running, cycling, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling where designated. Our volunteers lead organized hikes between March and November. We also distribute A Guidebook to Woolwich Trails which includes maps and descriptions of all the local trails.

The Township Of Woolwich is geocaching friendly. We ask that you respect local bylaws, stay on the marked trails and obey posted signs. People of all ages are invited to participate in this fun activity.  www.geocaching.com | Brochure 

In an emergency situation when police, fire or ambulance assistance is required, immediately call 911. When calling 911, report your location stating the Municipal Civic Address Number found on the green signs posted at key trail access points. These numbers are also referred as Municipal Emergency Numbers, are indicated on the maps in the guidebook, and in the text under “Parking and Access”

There are always trail improvement projects and maintenance on the go in Woolwich Township. It takes a lot of volunteer power to get our network of trails tip top for residents and visitors.  Contact Ann Roberts to help with a project in the works or to have your name added to our volunteer list to get notices of upcoming work parties.

Discover Woolwich trails and purchase the 7th edition of this all-purpose trusty guide to local trails. A full-colour book with fold-out colour maps, GPS locators for parking and access points, this guidebook will help make the most of your hikes.
