This is the first of five new trails planned by the Northwestern Ontario Recreational Trails Association.
THUNDER BAY — The organizers of an ambitious plan to build a network of over 400 kilometres of free-to-use hiking trails are now seeing their work recognized online by the Trans Canada Trail.
NWORTA president Len Day said it's an important milestone for all the volunteers working on the project. The trail, which will be opened officially later this year, runs between Highway 590 in the Kakabeka Falls area and Shabaqua. The Trans Canada Trail website includes a description of the route: The natural environment of the trail is a mix of new greenway trail, reclaimed unused logging roads, with some gravel roads. The resulting remoteness and rugged terrain provides heightened potential wilderness interactions with moose, bear, deer, bald eagles, hawks, etc. Elevations are moderate and gradually rise from 300 metres to 500 metres above sea level from east to west.
