Grand Trunk Trail

To access this trail, park at the Record Heritage Trail point at the intersection of Morningside Drive and Fountain Street in the historic village of Blair. The first section of trail follows the former Grand Trunk Railway over Blair Creek to the Shingle Bridge lookout and features interpretive signs.

The next section is paved, follows Blair Road, then becomes a woodland trail passing through environmentally sensitive areas and private lands. Hikers will continue past the Walter Bean Trailhead at George Street along the limestone bluffs to the 40' high Devil's Creek Waterfall. Here the trail connects under George Street to the Devil's Creek Trail through Morva Rouse Parkette. As hikers travel along the Grand River down the Davidson Quarry Rampway, examples of the heart shaped Galt Fossil can be spotted embedded in the limestone bluffs.

The trail continues along the river to Riverbluffs Park, home of the Cambridge Rowing Club and site of our annual Riverfest celebration. Features include parking, washrooms, playgrounds, picnic and boat launch facilities. The trail continues along George Street to Parkhill Road Bridge where it meets the Living Levee Trail.
