New Parking Lot at Black Road/Hwy 400
In December 2019, a new municipal parking lot was created on Black Road for short term year round overnight parking. Seguin Township purchased this property from the Ministry of Transportation in the Spring of 2019. The intent of this purchase was to create a parking lot to alleviate parking issues at the Tim Hortons/Petro Canada parking lot for snowmobilers and users of the Seguin Trail. Park to Park manages the Seguin Trail which is an important recreational and tourist hub that spans from the Kill Bear Provincial Park to Algonquin Provincial Park. Discussions are on-going with Park to Park for their long term plans to use this property as a trail-head. Since this property is situated close to the Seguin Trail and a snowmobile trail, this is a great opportunity to service the public and provide short term year round overnight parking to encourage tourism to our area and allow more people to enjoy our beautiful local trails.
Parking is also available on Cargill Drive off of Oastler Park Drive for users of the Park to Park Trail and the Seguin Trail. Please see the map for details.
