Lynn Valley Trail

The Lynn Valley Trail is a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) trail connecting Simcoe, Ontario, Canada to Port Dover.[1]

Summary

Both destinations are historic small towns with rustic central business areas. This trail meets with the Lynn River in certain places. It follows a former railbed through Carolinian forest.[2] Edible things to eat found along the trail include wild strawberries, wild raspberries, and blackberries.[3] Nighttime use of the trail is prohibited and only pedestrians and bicycles may use the trail at any time.[4] Privacy laws prevent the climbing of fences and gates leading to private property as a part of respecting the residents that live along the trail.[4]

Farm animals are not to be disturbed if found in or around the trail as they are considered a part of the farmer's private property.[4]
