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.

Friends of the Cataraqui Trail

The Friends of the Cataraqui Trail advocates for the sustainability, enjoyment and stewardship of the Cataraqui Trail. The Friends supports the public use of the Trail, promotes the Cataraqui Trail and assists the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority (CRCA) as a volunteer work force for light maintenance and to monitor and report trail hazards and maintenance issues to the CRCA.

The Cataraqui Trail is part of the conservation lands of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (Cataraqui Conservation).

Trail Alerts: A section of the Cataraqui Trail east of Perth Road is flooded due to beaver activity. Please detour around this section using Maple Leaf Road and Macgillivray Road. Updates will be posted when the section is passable again.
