Kissing Bridge Trailway

OUR TRAIL PARTNERSIn 1997, the County of Wellington and Regional Municipality of Waterloo jointly leased the 45 kilometre right-of-way from Guelph to Millbank from the Province. Within months, they had signed agreements with five community groups who have volunteered to steward sections of the line. The development and operation of theTrailway is now being carried out by a volunteer Trailway Advisory Board jointly appointed by the County and Region at virtually no expense to taxpayers.

A LEGACY OF THE PASTBuilt in 1911, at the height of the railway building boom, the Canadian Pacific Railway line from Guelph to Goderich once transported goods and passengers to Lake Huron. After it was abandoned in 1990, the Province of Ontario purchased the right-of-way for potential future use as a utility corridor. In the interim, multi-use recreation trails are being developed at the western end of the line in Goderich and at the eastern end in Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
