Known as as Deshkan Ziibi (Antler RIver) in Ojibwe, The Thames River winds more than 270 kilometers through southwestern Ontario, shifting from quiet rural bends to broad urban stretches as it flows toward Lake St. Clair. Here near Beachville, the river slows and creates one of its most peaceful sections. The Oxford Thames River Trail follows the shoreline, giving you easy access to restored grasslands, wetlands, and quiet river views where herons, turtles, and songbirds are common sights.
