Experience the Cataraqui Trail

The Cataraqui Trail is a year-round, shared-use recreation trail. In spring, summer and fall it welcomes everyone from hikers to cyclists. In winter it is open to snowmobilers bearing a current Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs trail permit. Cross-country skiers, hikers & cyclists are welcome to share the trail. We encourage all users to purchase an annual (Jan to Dec) $25 membership.
