The Great Trail: Connecting Canadians Coast to Coast!

It’s the longest recreational trail in the WORLD, and it will soon be complete, uniting 15,000 communities across Canada!

Once referred to as the ‘Trans Canada Trail’, has now been appropriately nick-named ‘The Great Trail’.

The project has been a long time in the making, starting 24 years ago with the dream of connecting Canadians from coast to coast. The goal is to have the last bit complete for 2017, to celebrate our nation’s 150th birthday.

“The Great Trail is an epic trail of trails offering a wide range of outdoor experiences on land and water. You can enjoy walking/hiking, cycling, paddling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, through a variety of landscapes – urban, rural, and wilderness – along greenway, waterway, and roadway”

Here’s a look at the trail from a map perspective:
