Erbhaven Trails

Wellesley’s newest recreational trail, Erbhaven, has quickly become a favourite place for dog-walking and hiking in the township. This eight-acre lot was donated by the family of the late Earl E. Erb and is now a recreational trail for the community and its visitors.

The trail was built by community members and township employees, and they used existing tractor trails within the woods to ensure that minimal trees needed to be cut down. This spot has brought people together to enjoy the natural beauty of Wellesley.
