Boats at Oakville HarborI don’t know of a better place to take a stroll and sip on a hot cup of coffee. It doesn’t matter the season, even winter. The Oakville Harbour is located downtown Oakville and in the heart of Olde Oakville. There are many yachts and motor boats parked in slips down there and makes for a picturesque place. There is a long pathway that goes from one end of the harbor to the other. It’s a perfect place to stroll, relax, watch water fowl frolic and sailors attending to their boats and for having a picnic. There are lots of picnic tables scattered about and they make for great locales to have a picnic.

At The HarborThere is another trail/pathway and it’s called The Larry Cain Trail. The trail has two parts and snakes along both sides of the sixteen mile creek. I like the stretch north of the Oakville Club, just before the pier. It is a very quiet and majestic place. I sometimes walk down there, sit on a bench and watch geese and ducks meander by.

It is an especially beautiful place in the autumn. If you walk north on the east of the sixteen mile creek side you can start to see all the beautiful leaves in their fall colours. I was able to get a close up look last fall.
