Northern Ontario International Trails Day
June 1, 2012 | 2 comments
There’s a lot of Trans Canada Trail activity in Ontario’s North and near-North: the development of the Kinghorn Trail from Thunder Bay to Nipigon; planning the Path of the Paddle water route from Pigeon River to Manitoba; and developing a plan to connect North Bay and Sudbury. This is an exciting time for us and for our local partners!
Get outside on International Trails Day (or any day you like!) and see what this wild and beautiful region has to offer.

Hi Daniel!
I think that sounds like a great time. Because our job at the Trans Canada Trail is to manage trail building, we don’t have that kind of detailed tourism info. I suggest you get in touch with local trail groups by doing searches for tourism and trails in the region. Alternatively, you might try asking our Ontario trail partner (find contact info here: http://tctrail.ca/about-the-organization/provincial-and-territorial-partners/ )
Can’t wait to see the pictures!
Cheers,
Dominique
