  • Blackwell Trails Park Connected to the Howard Watson Nature Trail, Blackwell Trails Park is located on Blackwell Road between Modeland and Michigan roads in Sarnia. Covering the completely closed landfill is a 3-kilometer long trail system ideal for non-motorized biking, walking or jogging. Waste Management developed the park in consultation with neighbours adjoining the former landfill. The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority planted 10,000 trees across the site. As these trees mature the paths will find themselves meandering through the treed zones, along with open grassy areas, making for a relaxing stroll with some excellent views. At each end of the park is a re-naturalized wetland, which hosts a variety of waterfowl annually. Waste Management has proudly received certification of the park by the Wildlife Habitat Council. There are six entrances off the Howard Watson Nature Trail and three entrances, with parking, off Blackwell Road. Also on site is a 3.5 acre fully enclosed leash free zone for exercising dogs and a fully accessible playground located at the main entrance.
