The Elgin Hiking Trail Club established the Elgin Hiking Trail in
1975. The trail is now 41 kilometres long and links Port Stanley with
the Thames Valley Trail at the northern boundary of Southwold
Township. It starts at the beach, next to Mackie’s Restaurant - look
for the two “post people hikers”. Many access points are available
off Hwy 4 on all cross roads south of St. Thomas (i.e. Southdale Line,
John Wise Line, Fruit Ridge Line, Sparta Line). The two trails veering
off to the right on the map are side trails with blue trail markers.

Always wear a helmet.
Always yield to pedestrians. Get off and walk your bike or put your foot down.
Ride slowly.
Always walk your bike through a crosswalk or crossover (fines apply if
not followed).
Use a bell or horn to let pedestrians know that you are there.
Make eye contact with drivers. Assume that drivers don’t see you.
Look for cars in driveways, laneways and at intersections and be prepared
to stop.
Expect pedestrians to exit from stores.
Parents should not ride on the sidewalk with their children. Instead,
parents should ride on the roadway beside their child. This gives the child
an opportunity to observe the parent practising safe cycling skills and
demonstrating the proper hand signals.

BURWELL RD

Developed and reproduced with permission from London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and Middlesex-London Heath Unit
Riding on the sidewalk does not eliminate the risk of a car and bike collision.
Cycling on the sidewalk is a contributing factor in 30 per cent of car and bike
collisions. Collisions occur when cyclists ride off the sidewalk into the roadway
or when motorists are exiting a laneway or driveway.
