The trail can be accessed at the Conservation Authority Administration Centre or at the parking lot across from the Sprucedale Care Centre on Head Street. There are also links with the rest of the Strathroy Parks system linking urban parks, arboretums, and wetlands.

The Rotary Trail
The Rotary Club of Strathroy Memorial Trail was established to honor Rotary members who have passed away. The trail connects with the Conservation Authority’s trail system creating a town-wide public trail system. The trails start at the skateboard park, located at the south end of Alexandra Park (off of Albert Street by Carrie Street), and extends through town to Second Street, just west of the Strathroy District Collegiate Institute and Holy Cross Secondary Schools.
Paddle the Sydenham
The Strathroy Water Trail is a 5 km loop of clear watercourse for recreational use on the Sydenham River. The river is the only major watershed in Canada that lies entirely within the Carolinian Life Zone and is home to many plants and animals that are not found anywhere else in Canada. As you travel along the Sydenham River, you can see dams, mills, historic homes, churches, and schoolhouses. The trail starts at the Conservation Authority Office and follows the river downstream to the Strathroy Marsh, with convenient access points along the shoreline.
