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. […]

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 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 […]

Today, we will be exploring The Lake Trail. The Lake Trail runs through several types of terrain. It goes through the bush […]

Let’s explore the Red Hill Valley Trail and make our way to the gorgeous Albion Falls. This portion of the trail starts on the old road, that is now completely closed to traffic. At this point, the trail continues underneath The Red Hill Expressway. I used to run here all the time when I was […]

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 […]

Let’s explore Chesney Conservation Area, also known as Chesney Wilderness Area Trail. You can access the trail quite easily off of Highway 401. Take exit 250 and pass the truck stop. The trail is only a kilometer or so down the road on the right hand side. There were quite a few mosquitoes out when […]
