The trails that connect us Already blessed with two thriving harbours, the town has steadily added to its natural attractions by creating the popular Oakville Heritage Trails system. Linking Oakville's harbours, lakefront and heritage districts, the system features information stations and signage so that all those who avail themselves of the trails can learn more about the area's history (aboriginal settlements, mills, etc.) and its natural wonders. Ideally, the trails act as an unbroken connection between north and south Oakville which had been split in two by the QEW and rail tracks. More than 100 kilometres of smaller existing neighbourhood trails will connect to the overall network. The 8.5-km 16 Mile Creek Trail, for example, runs through the centre of Oakville from either side of Oakville Harbour to Dundas Street at Lions Valley Park. Joshua's Creek Trail, located in the east end of Oakville, is six kilometres long and travels from the base of Winston Churchill Boulevard to the Dundas Street and Ninth Line area. The 12-km Crosstown Trail is located along the Natural Gas Pipeline from Bronte Creek Provincial Park to the 16 Mile Creek Valley and from the east bank of the 16 Mile Creek to Ninth Line. Bronte Creek Trail, located in the west end of town, runs for 6.5 kms from Bronte harbour to the northern tip of Bronte Creek Provincial Park. The trails feed the mind as well as the senses through special information stations, such as the First Nations kiosk located at the corner of Randall and Thomas Streets overlooking the creek flats where the Mississauga grew corn before the arrival of Europeans. The Harbour Heritage station can be found on the west flats of the 16 Mile Creek below the Lakeshore Bridge. It explains how the harbour was developed at the creek mouth after 1827 and how it prospered until the railway arrived in 1855.
