Mill Run Trail — Attraction in Cambridge

Have lived within walking distance of this trail and never got around to exploring it. It turns out, I've been missing out on a hidden gem right beneath my nose!

The trail is mostly made of gravel, with a few wooden bridges and small paved sections and seems to very well maintained. It is perfect for walking, running or mountain biking. A road bike would be alright, but there are probably better places for that (i.e. the road!).

The start of the trail is found on Sheffield, just off of Guelph Avenue, and takes you all the way to Riverside Park in Preston. The trail itself follows the Speed River, and boasts great scenery throughout. The river is visible on most of the trail, and is crossed over twice.

There is plenty or parking at the trailhead and there are quite a few parking lots that connect to the trail at various points along its length, making this one of the most easily accessible trails around.

Would highly recommend...

Fantastic trail! Although closed for construction currently(September 2017), it normally takes you from Hespeler to Preston parts of Cambridge and all along the way you get to experience some wildlife along the river. Great place for family walks or biking with friends! Need to cool off from a long day of work? I would recommend the Mill Run trail for sure! Trees surround most of the trail and at the Preston end of the trail you head straight into Riverside park which is perfect for picnics and just unwinding!

From Hespeler to Preston by bike takes about 20-30 minutes depending on your pace, definitely a trail I would recommend to anyone who enjoys getting outdoors and being in nature. It's close to downtown so your not too far from home, making it perfect for a...

This is a unique trail in Cambridge Ontario. Not a regular trail that runs into a conservation area or park bjt goes alongside a river then crosses back yards of some residents and also railway tracks. Not at all crowded, very few folks mostly walking their dogs and some fishing enthusiasts who are friendly and wace back if you choose to say Hi to them. No facilities of water or restrooms so be prepared accordingly. Plenty of free parking given its frequented by only the folks who know such a trail exists. Out and back kimd of trail that can be done in 2 hours both sides gievn you chose to sit for a while and enjoy the mini falls view...
