I am so conflicted here - the scenery is great but..the parking fees are way too expensive for this park & the fact that you have to input your license means they're trying to get more money from more people by trying to not allow people to share paid parking passes - I mean I do get it but it's just shady.
The trails are alright although don't set out without taking a look at the trail map because there are no other markers, not even at the old entrance sites to identify where you are in relation to the only parking lot that is there now.response / report this review -

Beautiful place. I have enjoyed many peaceful picnics here. And it's so clean and well kept!

Located on the southside of the Thames River, this scenic park is for nature-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The main trail runs parallel to the river, overlooking turquoise running water and a vast treetop canopy just beyond it. Go for a run. Do some photography. See some wildlife. Learn something about the land around you. Visiting this beautiful place would be a good way to do that.

Nice place for day trip. Not a good place for a picnic, but lots of nice trails to walk. Some of the paths can also be shared with horses.
If you don't mind a little walking (10-15 min), you can bring your fishing rod down to the river.response / report this review -

Great slice of nature near the city of London. Some excellent and tranquil hiking trials with some pretty nice views of the Thames River Valley. Only drawback of it is now pay parking, minimum $5.25 for two hours. Really though that is really more in line with the reality of most provincial parks. And a small price to pay towards the maintenance and upkeep of this beautiful spot.

Nice place for a walk near London ON. Separate walking and biking paths. Washrooms at trailhead. Downsideminimum $5 for 2hrs of parking. $12 daily max. Lots of road noise from surrounding highways.

The bridges, crossings and trails are not maintained and poorly marked. A lot of the concrete footings on bridges and staircases are falling apart. Some of the west blue /orange trails were almost abandoned. For a provincial park that charges $5-7 for parking I expected better maintenance, especially mid season.

It was a nice trail and the woods are beautiful, lots of varied habitats and terrain with some nice views. However like many of the other reviewers, I agree that the parking fee is kind of extortionate for $5 for 2hrs. If you're going to charge that much, have the trails be better marked and better maintained. I get that it's a national park, but there were some marked paths that led us into some completely wild areas. The trail markers were all over the place and at one point we got lost and turned around at the west end of the park - we had GPS and a photo of the map at the beginning of the trail, but both proved completely useless and unreliable. We almost were late coming back because we got so lost, which would have been additionally frustrating if we'd gotten a ticket for going over our time. If the trails could be better maintained and better marked, that would somewhat make up for the very high parking fee.

Nice park. Prefer the right paths/trails more than the left ones. Saw deer and other little forest creatures here. Downside is that you have to pay for parking, but it is inexpensive. It is a provincial park.

Overall it's a nice park, but they need to get the trails rationalised and blazed so that they're not as confusing.
It's understandable that things are chaotic, but there is still some work to do before this park gets five stars.response / report this review -

Awesome trails to hike around. Feel refreshed after a walk around this trail. I would give this place 5 stars, but the Ontario Government ruined it. $5.25 per/hour to walk around Komoka Trails now. If they can find a way to tax the people of Ontario they will! Don't get me wrong, I want to make sure our parks are cared for, but when does the Ontario Government stop taxing us on absolutely everything! Don't we already pay enough in taxes. Things like staying healthy outdoors should be covered! To eliminate cost people can volunteer, donate, and get sponsors for the Eco-system. Which a lot of people do, and I thank them for that. It's time for the Ontario government to say goodbye!

It's pretty and a nice walk, but the fact that they put in a parking meter makes it almost not worth it when there are other places you can go for free. It's a minimum of $5 every time you go. For myself, I found that the trails didn't take much time to walk from end-to-end. We spent an hour and a half there walking casually and stopping quite frequently. It offers some nice views of the Thames River and has a short path that is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, but the rest of it is more of a hike through the woods. I found some of the path to be very close to the road and it kind of took away from the nature feel of the area and wasn't quite what I expected from a Provincial Park. Much of the area is naturalized farmland. Overall it was a nice walk and probably good for taking pets and young kids out to (as long as you watch them as there are some strep drops). I'd recommend it, but personally probably won't return solely because of the parking costs (for me the experience didn't outweigh the cost, I have been to nicer places).

As many others have noted, was a great spot to go for a short hike or walk the dogs before you had to pay $5+ for parking. New parking spot is in a poor spot that doesn't really allow you to have great access to the whole park. Park trails are great, well marked and well kept. Some beautiful views at both park locations.

Beautiful place to hike or fish. Unfortunately the new parking/ entrance charges are a bit much. Surely the high tax rate here in Ontario should be enough to allow us to enjoy our provincial parks.
