Bruce Trail Conservancy

The Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath, provides the only continuous public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Running along the Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, it spans more than 890 km of main Trail and over 400 km of associated side trails.
The Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC) is a charitable organization* committed to establishing a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Niagara Escarpment, in order to protect its natural ecosystems and to promote environmentally responsible public access to this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
The BTC is one of Ontario's largest land trusts, responsible for the preservation of almost 10,000 acres of irreplaceable Niagara Escarpment landscape.
Nine regional Bruce Trail Clubs are part of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Each Club is volunteer-run and is responsible for maintaining, stewarding and promoting a section of the Bruce Trail.

A group of clubs in Ontario operated by volunteers with one goal, to provide a safe, & enjoyable trail system linking riding areas across the province. Our staff and volunteers are constantly working with government and municipalities, championing the rights of the ATV rider. We endeavour to help the general public understand that our members are a group of outdoor enthusiasts, who respect other outdoor sports, and are environmentally conscious. Joining an OFATV club gives you the opportunity to shape the future of the sport and the province wide trail system. Join a Club, get involved, & Go riding!

Bruce Trail Day September 30, 2012

Bruce Trail Day is an annual event celebrating Canada's oldest and longest footpath, hosted by the Bruce Trail Conservancy and each of its nine Bruce Trail Clubs.
Each Club of the Bruce Trail Conservancy is hosting free guided hikes and family activities to help you explore the Bruce Trail, discover the amazing variety of life along the Niagara Escarpment, and celebrate 50 years since the Bruce Trail began.
Fifty years ago, a phenomenal amount of work and effort was dedicated to mapping, clearing and blazing the Bruce Trail. This year we celebrate the first maps, the first blazes, the first Clubs, and all the work that went into putting the Bruce Trail on the ground and eventually led to its official opening in 1967.
Why not make this your year to (re)discover the Bruce Trail?
Come and learn about our year-round hiking programs, trail maintenance opportunities, and what we are doing to establish a conservation corridor from Niagara to Tobermory.Click Here for Full Details
