Hamilton’s Waterfront trail is now closed

Another closure due to COVID-19 safety precautions. The City of Hamilton announced today that the Waterfront Trail is now closed to pedestrians between the Burlington Lift Bridge and Confederation Park.

Should folks venture outside for fresh air and recreation, it is encouraged that they stay close to home, keep a two meter distance from others, and wash their hands upon returning indoors.

Any trails that remain open, such as the Rail Trail, should only be used for essential travel such as getting to and from work. Any travel at all, really, should be minimized to essential trips only.

Reminder: The WATERFRONT Trail between the Burlington Lift Bridge and Confederation Park is CLOSED until further notice. Please stay off the trail to stop the spread of COVID-19 in #HamOnt. https://t.co/UPYQzhrNKr pic.twitter.com/NMRFnIHxg3

Now is not the time for casual exploration — keep it close to home, Hamilton.
