If you are in the mood for a great hike, this is the trail for you! It is 19km long and is open year-round. Make sure to pack appropriate hiking equipment and start the hike ahead of time before dark.

A popular point of interest you will come across is Black Bridge. It is an old rail bridge which has now been converted into a pedestrian bridge as part of the trail. On the trail, you will see ponds, beautiful views, and lookout points. You will also pass through gorgeous forests, fields, wetlands and grasslands, so make sure you dress warm and with waterproof shoes. This trial allows for hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing.

You can access the hike through Jenkins Road, where the trail connects to the Brantford Rail Trail, as well as access Waterford at the end of Nichol Street.
