Lions Lake Trail Run
I collect trails. I am always on the lookout for a new spot to explore. My latest adventure was at Lions Lake Trail in Floradale, Ontario. The parking lot brings you right to the shore and the Woolwich Dam. The trail is only a few hundred meters further down. It cuts through a Maple Syrup Farm. […]

Doon Skatium – Kitchener’s Mobile Skatepark
Kitchener has a mobile skatepark that it sets up in various neighbourhoods throughout the city. It is called “Doon Skatium” They often set up shop outside of the Pioneer Park branch of the Public Library I love this rail! It is great for beginners, since you can skate right on to it without having to olley. […]

Beasley Skatepark – Hamilton
Beasley is the first permanent outdoor skateboard park that I had ever seen. It’s the oldest skatepark on the entire Eastern Seaboard. People have been coming here since the mid 1980s to skate. I skated here a lot when I was a kid and it wasn’t until many years later that parks like this became commonplace. […]

Skate Port – Port Stanley’s Skatepark
The skatepark in Port Stanley, Ontario is known as Skate Port. I love that play on words. It was nice to see this plaque on the side of one of the ramps. It reads, “Dedicated to the man with a kid’s heart, who saw a dream and fulfilled it. Kai Rasmussen Skate Port” This must […]

Oh No, The Bridge is Out! (but not for long)
I have nothing but respect for people who maintain all of the nature trails that I go running on. Most of the trails I visit are kept up quite nicely, either by the Park Association or a dedicated group of volunteers. Earlier this summer, I came across a broken bridge. I was still able to […]

Turner Skatepark – Hamilton, Ontario
Turner Skateboard Park is an amazing facility located on the Hamilton Mountain. It is one of the only outdoor skateparks that has managed to remain graffiti free. It’s very nice to have a clean, smooth park to skate on. It’s a little thing, but I really appreciate it. I also love the fact that this […]

Kains Woods to Warbler Woods
I love running down a nature trail, not knowing exactly where it will take me, experiencing the quiet surroundings, and getting a workout at the same time. And I love sharing these journeys with you. A few years back, I discovered Kains Woods and had a very nice run in the fall. The pictures are gorgeous. […]

Kains Woods Adventure
I went back to run Kains Woods today. I was determined to run the trail in its entirety. But since it is a straight course along the river, I thought that I would just find the portion of it that I hadn’t run yet and do that section. After driving around for twenty minutes, I couldn’t […]

I’m Never Running Here Again
I am always on the look out for a new trail to run. I love exploring nature and getting a work-out at the same time. So far, I have documented 70 different trails in this series. I would have no problem running any of them again. This one is the only exception. I have ran […]

Henderson Conservation Area. I drove all the way down the entrance road to find the start of the back […]
