Post 1/7

Take a seat on the bench between post 1/7 and 2/6 and let your imagination wander to a time when these trails were the property of the Lake Erie Northern Railway. This was an era when steam engines traveled this route, stopping to collect water from the hydrostatic water tower that once occupied the spot behind you. The water came from natural springs, by Decou Road, and although the tower is gone the spring that fed it is still flowing as you can see across from you. Stories are told of children climbing the tower to swim in the refreshing water until it was torn down in the mid-1950's. In the springtime the banks surrounding this area are covered with trilliums of white, pink, burgundy and red.
