It’s an Ontario walking and hiking paradise. Put your boots on.

Written by: Trails of 1812

Whether your ideal hike is a few hours or few days, you’ll find fascination in every step as you discover Ontario’s nature trails. Ontario offers everything from urban trails that let you explore the towns and cities, to wilderness trails where it’s just you and nature.

Many of our walking and hiking trails follow the routes of the aboriginals and explorers. Others are rail trails that have been converted from rail lines.

For walkers and hikers, most trails are open to use and free of charge, but please look for posted signs and proceed accordingly. Also, many trails are mixed use, so you may encounter cyclists, horseback riders or motorized vehicles.
