Fanshawe Trails
Enjoy our 21 km Lake Trail for hiking and biking, and our 3.4 km of hiking trails within our park.
FAQ-WHY ARE FANSHAWE'S UNMARKED BIKE TRAILS BEING CLOSED?
A park admission fee, payable at the front entrance gates, is required in order to use any trails. Season’s passes, also available at the gatehouses, give you unlimited yearly entrance to Fanshawe, Pittock, and Wildwood Conservation Areas. Entry fees help us to maintain and improve the conservation areas' trails and facilities.

FANSHAWE LAKE TRAIL
(21 km, hiking/biking)
The Lake Trail circles all the way around Fanshawe Reservoir, going through mature forests, open meadows and along three stretches of roadway. For your safety and to prevent damage to habitat, please stay on the marked trails at all times. We highly recommended that anyone hiking or biking this trail carry a copy of the Lake Trail guide.
BIKING: Direction of travel alternates depending on the date - on even numbered days go clockwise; on odd numbered days go counterclockwise (e.g. June 6 is clockwise; June 7 is counterclockwise). Bike helmets are mandatory, regardless of age or experience.
