Oxford Thames River Trail Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

You'll find the western trailhead of the Oxford Thames River Trail here and nearby rail lines hint at the trails history as it too carried train traffic before being converted to a peaceful trail alongside the Thames River.

Thames River

Highlight • River

Known as as Deshkan Ziibi (Antler RIver) in Ojibwe, The Thames River winds more than 270 kilometers through southwestern Ontario, shifting from quiet rural bends to broad urban stretches as it flows toward Lake St. Clair. Here near Beachville, the river slows and creates one of its most peaceful sections. The Oxford Thames River Trail follows the shoreline, giving you easy access to restored grasslands, wetlands, and quiet river views where herons, turtles, and songbirds are common sights.

Oxford Thames Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Oxford Thames River Trail offers a peaceful riverside walk that follows a former rail corridor beside the slow‑moving Thames River. The route mixes wide gravel stretches with narrower natural‑surface paths, and recent improvements include a scenic river loop and short boardwalk sections that bring you close to the water’s edge
