Trail Programs

Benches and trees along the Trail make you feel welcome and enhance the overall trail experience for everyone. The Trail isn't just a way to get from here to there, but a place to be; a place to take a moment and reflect on the history of the Village of Lakefield and those who helped make it the vibrant community that it is today.

Memorial Tree Program

If you wish to mark a special occasion or celebration, to honour someone special or to create a lasting memory of a loved one, you can arrange to have a Memorial Tree placed along the Trail, usually in the location of your choice. A plaque with the donor's name and an inscription is placed with the Tree.

For more information, contact the Selwyn Township Parks & Recreation Department at 705-292-9507 ext. 243 or email recreation@selwyntownship.ca.
