The Caledon Trailway
The Trailway follows the path of an abandoned rail
line that once linked Hamilton with Barrie.
The Town of Caledon purchased 35 km of rail section in 1989 and it
became the first officially designated portion of the Trans Canada Trail in
1995. The first Trans Canada Trail
Pavilion in the country was built in Caledon East in 1996. Visit the Stationlands Park in Caledon East
to see the pavilion and commemorative panels, pond and wetland, a developing
arboretum, and Caledon’s Walk of Fame. Other Stationlands Parks are in Palgrave,
Cheltenham and Inglewood. This is a
multi-use trail, ideal for walking, cycling, and horseback riding, and
cross-country skiing in winter.
