Shade's Mills

Shade's Mills has been called the best-kept secret in Cambridge. Favourite activities in this day-use area include swimming, sport fishing and canoeing. The conservation area has 12 km of hiking trails through a mature hardwood forest that winds along Mill Creek. There is good fishing for northern pike, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass in the 32-hectare (80 acre) reservoir behind Shade's Mills dam. It is open for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing during the winter.

We didn't have high expectations of this park since it is located very close to the city; however, we were very impressed with the great hiking trails, the beautiful trees, and the delightful beach. We plan to return in the autumn with our canoe and in the winter with our snowshoes.

Trail Access •Cambridge: The Canadian General-Tower Trailhead is at 210 Water Street South (Highway 24) just south of Concession Street. •Glen Morris: A parking area at the end of Forbes Street also serves a nearby river canoe launch. •Paris: The Jean Rich Foundation Trailhead is on Willow Street near Green Lane at the north end of Paris. Uses •Hiking and biking all year •Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter •No motorized vehicles of any kind

The Old German Woolen Mill ruin near Glen Morris along the Cambridge to Paris rail trail is an unexpected encounter with history. It’s cut stone walls and raceway arches and overall imposing height are testimony to the skills of the stone masons who built it. Access is now signed as no trespassing, although it can be viewed from the rail trail or off a roadway in front of the ruins.

Mill Run Trail

Reviewed By EveP386 - Cambridge, Canada

Love this trail! Its easy terrain and full of natural beauty and wildlife. It takes you right beside the Grand River and end at Riverside Park. A portion of the trail also has a separate path for bikers as well. I recommend going in the evening if interested in seeing lots of wildlife, we've have the best luck at that time. We have seen water fowl, tortoises, deer and even beavers recently!

Health Valley Trail

Reviewed By addrob

We went near the university to find the Health Valley Trail, Waterloo. When we arrived we saw a beautiful quilt. We decided to eat our lunch near the river. How beautiful that river was. Then we went for our hike. We chose the Health Valley Trail, Waterloo. We saw beautiful flowers and trees. People came to hike, others used a bike and in the winter they can ski. The trail was about 2.4 kms. There was even a dog park. We saw a bridge and farm house. We came back with a smile. We loved our hike and we loved nature. Worthwhile to see!
