Eckville Pedestrian Trail

The Eckville Pedestrian Trail Network officially opened in September 2014. The first phase of the trail, "Credit Union Way" has already made great strides within the community. The Town would like to thank the Eckville Credit Union for their generous contribution that helped make this trail a possibility. This 1.3 km phase is the first phase of the network, with the potential for more phases to follow in the coming years.

In 2018 saw the addition of phase 2 of the Eckville Pedestrian trail system. This new .6km long "Westview Trail" connected to the "Credit Union Way" with Eckville's new Westview's Manufactured homes subdivision. 

In 2021 the.7km "Municipal Hospital Memorial pedestrian Trail" enabled the Town to connect to the existing Seniors Manor, which is located on the old Municipal Hospital Grounds, with the downtown retail core and the original "Credit Union way".

  • The walking trails are open year-round, with our Public Works team maintaining the trail throughout the winter months to ensure that residents will be able to enjoy the trail each day of the year.
