Trails and Birds

Lambton Shores Nature Trails maintains trails in some of the environmentally most significant natural areas in Southwestern Ontario. Located in Carolinian Canada, it is home to many birds including the migrating tundra swans who pass through in the early spring on their trek to the far north.

Four properties, L-Lake Conservation Area, Ausable River Cut Conservation Area, Forest Dunes and Ipperwash Dunes & Swales have been designated as Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) by IBA Canada. Considering the natural habitat the trails go through and the proximately to lots of water, their is an abundance of birds along the trails.

Take a hike, bring binoculars or a camera, there's lots to see along the trails and enjoy the scenery!
