Talbot Trail

The Talbot Trail is a historical route completed in the 1820s in Ontario near the north shore of Lake Erie. The building of the route was overseen by Colonel Thomas Talbot.

The trail extends nearly 200 kilometres from Windsor to Fort Erie. Its original intent was to provide a continuous land route for settlers and military personnel between the Niagara region and Amherstburg, aiding in the development of the Talbot Settlement.
