The Trans Canada Trail is the world’s longest network of trails, developed and promoted by a non-profit registered charity.

When completed, the Trail will stretch over 23,000 kilometres from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Oceans, linking 1000 communities and all Canadians.

Today, more than 16,800 kilometres of trail have been developed. Millions of Canadians and international visitors are using the Trail to hike, cycle, ski, horseback ride, canoe and snowmobile.
