This article is going to tell you about a few of the projects that we have underway in several parts of Ontario. When communities turned to the OTC they ask us to help them manage, develop, properly use, and conserve their trails.

Niagara Trails – Niagara 

Just when you've experienced everything on Clifton Hill, enjoyed the 1812 overture at Niagara-on-the-Lake, or tested some fine wines in Fort Erie, you'll discover the little bit extra that the 62 trails in Niagara enable you to explore.

Niagara region is blessed with many amenities and services for tourists and trail users alike. The conservation authority lands are dotted with trails, the Niagara Gorge trail is renowned for its client and the powerful sounds of Niagara's waters.

Working with the region and the Niagara trails committee in various groups including the Niagara Bruce trail club, the Upper Canada Equestrian Association, Quad Niagara, Short Hills cycling, and the various municipalities we are re-shaping the vision and development of multi-use trails in Niagara.

So come on down bring your bike bring your boots bring your helmet, most importantly bring your sense of adventure!

Georgian Bay Coast Trail – Central Ontario

People like to walk, it also like to hike. Many of Ontario's trails are along rivers or along waterfronts. The Georgian Bay coast trail is being planned as rugged natural experience trail alongside the East Coast of Georgian Bay.

This trail is going to stretch from Bayfield Inlet to Point Grondine. In this case this trail is not a rail trail the rugged beauty of Georgian Bay will be your guide. Rocks, pine forests, and wilderness await on this trail trek.

Trails are about communities in this project brings many unique communities together through the trail. This is why the Ontario trails Council is pleased to be devoting time and resources to working with first Nations peoples, the board of the Georgian Bay coast trail and other regional partners in bringing this trail to this region.

Heritage is the key word on this trail. First Nations peoples appreciated the healing powers of native plants and respected the beauty of the land. Today through this partnership we are working to ensure that aboriginal heritage and natural appreciation is preserved for the wilderness hiker.

There are many places to stay in the area, the hearty fare will energize you for your next 30K, and whether in Britt, or Parry Sound, to Magnetawan, as this trail opens over the next year the local people are ready to welcome you to their unique part of Ontario.

nightlife of Thunder Bay, and immerse yourself in the ancestral heritage of places like red rock and Shuniah.
