The Algonquin Park to Georgian Bay's Killbear Provincial Park Trail

In the summer of 1998, following the recommendations from a joint meeting of Town Councils (Parry Sound and Huntsville), the Park-To-Park Trail Association was formed. Currently the trail is a work in progress. The Park-To-Park Trail is truly a 'regional' initiative. The trail system is a multi use trail system. The long term objective is to provide seamless trail system encompassing community trails, snowmobile routes, historic colonization and logging roads, former rail beds, new links and some secondary roads.
