Trail Characteristics and Accessibility
The City of Oshawa constructs all new trails to meet accessibility standards. Older established portions of the trails may have steep slopes, sharp turns and unprotected edges with close proximity to the lake or creek and may be considered as a potential obstacle for some users. Some portions are prone to seasonal flooding and freezing. On-road portions of the trail require the user to maneuver along and across areas with vehicular traffic.
