Lorne C. Henderson Nature Trail
I collect nature trails. I’m always on the lookout for new places to run and document here on the blog. So far, I have collected 70 different trails. The latest edition to this series is Lorne C. Henderson Conservation Area. I drove all the way down the entrance road to find the start of the back…

Walpole Island Skatepark
Let’s go explore the skatepark at Walpole Island First Nation. It’s one of the first things you see when you drive over the bridge and enter the reservation. There are all sorts of ledges to grind. The quarter pipe is a little taller than I would like it to be. This park is made for…

St. Julien Skatepark – London, Ontario
Skateboard season is back! Let’s go to 15 St Julien Street in London, Ontario, Canada and explore the skatepark that’s there. I’m not sure why this park doesn’t have an official name or any signage . Everyone just calls it St. Julien Skatepark or St. Julien’s. It has some pretty cool obstacles and enough room to…

White Oaks Skatepark – London, ON
I really didn’t think I’d get the chance to skateboard during the Christmas holiday break. But due to warmer than season temperatures and nice weather, I found myself at the newly redesigned White Oaks Skatepark. It’s really close to the mall of the same name and a great place to skate. The park is a…

Barracks Skatepark (London, Ontario)
Wolseley Skatepark in London, Ontario is skateboard wonderland. The park is huge and has a great flow to it. Several skaters, BMXers, and scooter kids can ride here and not get in each other’s way often. There are a bunch of stairs and rails throughout the course. The only thing missing here is a mini-ramp…

John Lawson Trail
Let’s explore the John Lawson Park trail in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. It starts out fairly nondescript but goes off into the woods for a short period. Unfortunately, my photos of that portion of the trail didn’t turn out. I love running through natural areas and crossing small creeks or rivers. The trail opens up and…
