Fanshawe Lake Trails/ Fanshawe Conservation Area A 20 km loop trail travelling around Fanshawe Reservoir. Spectacular views, all kinds of wildlife and a variety of terrain. Trail is open to cyclists who travel counter-clockwise on odd numbered dates. The hydroelectric plant at the base of Fanshawe Dam generates enough power to run 300 households. This is a one of the Conditioning Hikes required for anyone going on the Bruce Trail Hikes and for all members. It is recommended that you wear the boots and bring the backpack you will be taking on the Bruce Trail.
Parking info: The Park is officially open on May 1. We can park in the Day Use parking lot. After going through the gate, drive over the dam to the Day Use parking beside the washrooms at the Kinsmen Picnic Area which is near the Pioneer Village and the Children's Safety Village. Please check the map on the website or pick up a map at the gate. There is a $10 charge per car , so carpooling is recommended.
