Iron Horse Trail
Running between Ottawa Street in Kitchener and Allen Street in Waterloo, the Iron Horse Trail is marked in maroon and gold.
This is significant because these are the colors of what used to be the Grand River Railway. The trail travels through industrial and residential areas before it reaches Victoria Park at the mid-point.
This is a pleasant place to take a picnic before finishing up on Allen Street in Waterloo.
This is an ideal trail for novices, families, those with limited mobility, and people who want to commute within the city without having their entire route on roads.
