This challenging walking trail, 5 km in length, traverses a wide variety of ecosystems. In winter, there are 5 and 8 km groomed trails for cross country skiing.

Most striking is the abundance of local wild life, particularly beavers. Testimony to the busy lives of the local animals is a giant beaver dam some six feet high.

The trail crosses the original railway bed that was built through the Sudbury area at the turn of the last century.

It was while this railway was being built that valuable nickel and copper mineral deposits were discovered that have made Greater Sudbury "geologically" famous.
