The Caledon Trailway is a multi-use trail that follows an
abandoned rail line built in 1877 by the Hamilton & North
Western Railway to move goods and passengers between
Hamilton and Barrie. Canadian National Railway bought the
line in 1923 and it was decommissioned in the 1980s. The
Town of Caledon purchased 35 km of the line in 1989 and in
1995 the Trailway became the first official part of the Trans
Canada Trail (TCT). In 1996 volunteers, donors and local
businesses raised funds to construct a beautiful park in
Caledon East, with flowerbeds, arboretum and pond, as well
as the country’s first TCT pavilion. This park also houses
Caledon’s “Walk of Fame” – honouring current or former
Caledon residents who have achieved local, national and
international recognition. The Trail Link, opened in 1997,
joins the Caledon Trailway with the Elora-Cataract Trailway,
both part of the TCT. Passing through or near many of
Caledon’s cultural and natural features including, the
Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine, the Trailway
was been enhanced over the years by various partnerships
and continues to be maintained by the Town of Caledon.
Our National Trail was initiated in 1992 to celebrate
Canada’s 125th year and is the world’s longest recreational
trail. When completed, the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) will
stretch over 22,000 km from the Atlantic to the Pacific to
the Arctic Oceans, linking close to 1000 communities and
more than 33 million Canadians. Four out of five Canadians
live within 30 minutes of completed sections of the Trail.
The TCT is actually a network of trails; a community-based
project with each Trail section developed, owned and
managed at the local level by trail groups, conservation
authorities, and by municipal, provincial and federal
governments. The Trail preserves green space, promotes
conservation, and protects the environment, while
allowing Canadians of all ages an opportunity to get active,
keep fit and enjoy the distinct features and unique
landscapes of over 400 community trails that make up the
TCT. The Caledon Trailway was the first to be accepted as
part of the TCT, and Caledon East is home to what was the
first of a growing number of TCT pavilions. For more
information on the Trans Canada Trail and how you can
support its completion, refer to contact information
provided on the map’s back panel.

The Bruce Trail
Niagara Escarpment
The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest footpath
provides the only continuous public access to the Niagara
Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of
only sixteen such reserves in all of Canada. The Bruce Trail
Conservancy is committed to establishing a conservation
corridor containing a public footpath along the Escarpment,
to protect the natural ecosystems and promote responsible
public access.

Beginning in 2015 the Caledon Trailway will also be known
as part of the Greenbelt Cycling Route. The Caledon Trailway
will represent the only off-road section of the northern part
of this +80 km cycling route, which will traverse Ontario’s
Greenbelt from Niagara to Northumberland.
Where visible, the Escarpment is a massive forested ridge
that extends 1,100 km from western New York to Niagara
Falls, across southern Ontario, up the Bruce Peninsula,
under the waters of Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island, and
down the western shore of Lake Michigan. The process
that created the Escarpment began more than 400 million
years ago when the limestone and sandstone formed.
These geological events are responsible for a myriad of
specialized habitats where diverse plants and animals
thrive. Recognized as one of Canada’s more significant land
formations, the Escarpment was designated as a UNESCO
World Biosphere Reserve in 1990.
Oak Ridges Moraine
The Oak Ridges Moraine is one of the most distinct
landforms in southern Ontario. It stretches as a ridge of
rolling hills, plains, lakes, wetlands, streams and forests for
160 km from the Niagara Escarpment in Caledon to the
headwaters of the Trent River system in Northumberland
County. The Moraine was created as glaciers receded and
deposited layers of sand and gravel, separated by clay and
till soil. Rain that gets collected and stored in the Moraine’s
vast underground layers of sand and gravel provides
drinking water to more than 250,000 people and feeds the
majority of river systems in the Greater Toronto Area.

Other trails extend into Caledon from outside our
boundaries, including the Grand Valley, Etobicoke Creek,
Oak Ridges and Humber Valley Heritage Trails. The Caledon
Trail Link connects the west side of Trans Canada Trail to the
Elora-Cataract Trail while the New Tecumseth Trail joins the
Caledon Trailway just east of Palgrave, extending the Trans
Canada Trail into Tottenham and beyond. Caledon also has
extensive mountain biking trails in Albion Hills Conservation
Area and the Palgrave Forest.
