Park to Park Trail
At 230 kilometers, the Park to Park Trail links two iconic Provincial Parks; Killbear Park on Georgian Bay at its western end and at its eastern end, the world-famous Algonquin Park. The Park to Park Trail Association has worked to develop, build and maintain the trail across the 10 municipalities on its route. The Trail network includes sections of historic rail beds and colonization roads, as well as newly developed trail and road sections. It is a multi-use trail network, welcoming trail users on foot, bicycle, horse, dog sled, dirtbike, snowmachine, ATV and UTV. Some sections are limited to non-motorized users.
