Ontario Trails Council brings the right people together to provide reliable information that advances the management and operation of recreational trails while providing public access to Canada’s largest multi-use trail inventory.
With over 220 individuals, economic development, tourism, planning, recreation, park and club organizations, municipalities, and and conservation areas as members, the Ontario Trails is Canada’s largest, most diverse trail association. We continue to reach out to new stakeholders and create new working groups at the regional level. It supports our goal of making a difference locally, while acting provincially.

We also acknowledge establishing the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport as the lead Ministry for trails in Ontario.
