The Old German Woolen Mill ruin near Glen Morris along the Cambridge to Paris rail trail is an unexpected encounter with history. It’s cut stone walls and raceway arches and overall imposing height are testimony to the skills of the stone masons who built it. Access is now signed as no trespassing, although it can be viewed from the rail trail or off a roadway in front of the ruins.

Mill Run Trail

Reviewed By EveP386 - Cambridge, Canada

Love this trail! Its easy terrain and full of natural beauty and wildlife. It takes you right beside the Grand River and end at Riverside Park. A portion of the trail also has a separate path for bikers as well. I recommend going in the evening if interested in seeing lots of wildlife, we've have the best luck at that time. We have seen water fowl, tortoises, deer and even beavers recently!
