Trans Canada Trail - Northumberland portion
The Northumberland portion of this trail spans from Hastings southeast to Hoard's Station (just east of Campbellford) taking you through 22km of marshland, meadows, hayfields and some shade trees.
You'll be travelling on an abandoned rail line with 1" - 2" gravel. These trails are common in Ontario, there is a movement to convert abandoned rail lines into trails. many of them support multiple uses so check with the local trail goups ragarding other uses.
At the halfway point in Campbellford there is a deviation from the trail which will take you on some back roads, a steep hill, Rotary trail along the Trent River and over the Ranney Falls Suspension Bridge.
A topographical map is recommended and is free by calling 866-401 EAST (3278).
