Talbot Trail

The trail extends nearly 2000 kilometres from Windsor to Fort Erie with sections following Highway 3 through Wainfleet and Port Colborne. Hikers will enjoy the natural and scenic attractions of the Carolinian forests.

The Talbot Trail is an historically significant overland route completed in the 1820s in Ontario, Canada, near the north shore of Lake Erie. The building of the route  was overseen by Colonel Thomas Talbot. It was originally a corduroy road which eventually became Highway 3 and several modern county and regional roadways. 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.
