The Lynn Valley Rail Trail runs 10 km from Simcoe to Port Dover on Lake Erie.

The staging area in Port Dover has a porta potty and parking at Silver Lake.

Another porta potty is found at the Lynn Valley Road intersection




In Simcoe, it meets up with Norfolk Sunrise Trail at Victoria Street south of Clifton Park continuing to Waterford



The surface is crushed limestone which is as hard as concrete and suitable for a street bike

The trail is about 90%!i(MISSING)n shade so would be ideal on a hot summer day. Greenery also abounds by the trail

and in the nearby fields.

There are 4 or 5 bridges that cross the Lynn River.

Kilometres markings are found every kilometre starting with "0" at Port Dover.



Benches are found along the way (some in bad shape.)



There a number of refuse containers along the trail.



There are a few road crossings



For about 100 metres the trail is on a narrow strip beside a road and then for another 100 metres

it is on a county road.
