Enjoy Aurora's Trail Systems
Whether you're walking, jogging, cycling or cross-country skiing - there's an Aurora trail waiting for you. Below are a few of our larger trail systems.
Tim Jones Trail |
The Tim Jones (Nokiidaa) Trail is Aurora's longest trail corridor stretching from Vandorf Woodlot in the south (Vandorf Sideroad just west of Bayview Avenue) to the St. John's Boardwalk at the McKenzie Marsh. The trail corridor links municipal facilities such as the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, the Aurora Town Hall and the Aurora Senior's Centre and passes through the Aurora Community Arboretum, Lambert Willson Park, and Sheppards Bush. An additional trail northward, just west of McKenzie Marsh, links up with the Town of Newmarket and completes Aurora's section of the Tim Jones (Nokiidaa) Trail. The Tim Jones Trail is part of the larger Nokiidaa Trail system and can be taken as far north as East Gwillimbury following the East Holland River. |
Klaus Wehrenberg Trail |
This trail connects with the Tim Jones Trail in Sheppard's Bush. It then continues south through the hardwood forest to Vandorf Side Road where it meets the Evans Park Trail running South from Vandorf Side Road to Evans Park. Directions: The main entrance is off Industry Street, in Aurora, with a second entrance off Industrial Parkway. |
Willow Farm/ Lakeview Trail System |
This trail links parks and linear open space corridors within the forested hills of St. Andrews in Northwest Aurora. This trail features rolling hills, as the trail rises up to one of the highest points of elevation within Aurora. Directions: the trailhead is located at the northeast end of the trail at the pond and stone bridge on Willow Farm Lane (just south of St. John's Sideroad). Parking is available along residential streets, which intersect with the trail. There is also public parking available at Summit Park (Orchard Heights Blvd. just east of Bathurst) and walk 200 m. east to Reservoir Park or 200 m west to the trail crossing at Whispering Pine Trail. |
