Hugging the western shores of Lake Ontario you’ll find the gem that is the town of Oakville. Within the Town, you can take in a Lake Ontario sunrise or spend many a golden afternoon along any number of shoreline parks and beaches, or along the scenic Bronte Creek and Sixteen Mile Creek valleys that divide the city. The city is home year-round to performances and arts and heritage events and festivals, so regardless of the reason or the season you visit, there’s certain to be something going on you can (figuratively or literally) sink your teeth into.
Did we mention that the Town is also home to Bronte Creek Provincial Park and is a Bicycle Friendly Community?
For those coming in to Oakville from out of town or who use the take GO Transit from Bronte Station on their daily commute, make sure to check out our Trail to GO program. For those interested in a country sojourn, Oakville also has a signed connector route from the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail to the Greenbelt Route starting at Fourth Line.
