Mill Race Trail - St. Jacobs

Latitude/Longitude:  43° 32' 27" N , 80° 33' 21" W

The Mill Race Trail is a nearly 2 km linear trail, built along the former headrace of the St. Jacobs mill. It is fairly straight with a hard gravel surface, suitable for walking and cycling. Winter uses of the trail include cross-country skiing, and potentially skating on the mill race. The trail is also wheelchair accessible. It has parking areas at each end, and benches or resting spots along its length. At the west end of the trail a low level buggy bridge crosses over the Conestogo River at Three Bridges Road, downstream from a dam.
