Hiking Trails

Waterfront Trail

Cobourg is a part of the Waterfront Trail, a long running trail connecting 75 communities and including over 400 parks and natural areas.

Staying close to the lake, the trail starts in the east end of Town on County Road 2, running through parks such as Lucas Point Park, Victoria Park, Rotary Waterfront Park, the Cobourg Boardwalk, Peace Park and eventually making its way back to County Road 2 heading into Port Hope.

Cobourg Conservation Area (James Cockburn Park)

The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority owns the park but it is managed by the Town.

Located at 700 William Street, the park is split into two sides thanks to the Cobourg creek, with a small bridge to connect the two.

This is a naturalized area of 29.9 acres great for walking through wooded areas or playing sports or other activities.
