Nature lovers in Clarington and beyond now have a new way to explore the beauty of Soper Creek Valley.
The recently completed extension of the Soper Creek Trail adds 650 metres of paved pathway, connecting the trail to Mearns Avenue, just past Cotton Street.
The 3.3-kilometre asphalt path winds through the natural landscape, offering views of the creek and surrounding greenery. Along the way, visitors can enjoy newly installed benches and waste receptacles, providing rest stops.
Recreational trails were identified as a priority for residents under Clarington’s current Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan and is part of Clarington’s 2024-2027 Strategic Plan to foster a connected community. There are approximately 50 kilometres of asphalt, gravel and natural recreational trails in Clarington that are primarily found within the Municipality’s parks, open space, and natural area system.
Soper Creek Trail is a popular destination for walking, jogging, cycling, and simply enjoying the serene natural surroundings. With the recent extension, residents and visitors can now explore even more of this picturesque area.
