Woodland Heritage Trail
Experience Lambton Heritage Museum's beautiful grounds!
Explore the unique oak savanna habitat around the main museum and historic buildings. The Woodland Heritage Trail is a one kilometer loop through the forest.
The Woodland Heritage Trail is named in honour of Ontario's Woodland Indigenous people. They inhabited the area from 1000-1650 and fished, hunted, and worked flint in this area.
Snowshoes and walking poles are available to borrow at the museum (seasonal). A liability waiver is required. Snowshoes come in a variety of sizes for adults and children (who have to be over 60 pounds to use). Regular museum admission prices include the snowshoe and walking pole use.
You can access the information from the trail's interpretive panels below. Learn about the unique oak savanna habitat, the changing landscape, and Indigenous uses of the land.
StoryWalk
StoryWalks are a unique way to merge physical activity with literacy for both adults and children. Individual pages of a picture book are installed on posts along trails or in parks at select locations in Lambton County, encouraging patrons young and old to read along as they walk. StoryWalks are updated every spring and fall.
Lambton County is home to six StoryWalks, created in partnership with the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Lambton Partners, with one located along the Woodland Heritage Trail.
