Take the "End-to-End Challenge"!

Have an enjoyable and healthy goal this year: aim to see the entire Waterfront Trail! Remember, you don't have to do it all in one outing. While some people will complete it in a couple of weeks, others will stretch it out over one summer or two (or more!) to ensure they see all the Trail has to offer.

Trail along etobicoke lakeshoreBe one of the year's first "End to Enders", and win.

Each year, the first 50 people who complete the 700 km of designated Waterfront Trail (from Niagara-on-the-Lake to the Quebec Border), and write to tell us about their journey, receive:

  • An End-to-End certificate of accomplishment
  • An End-to-End pin

Real "End-to-Enders" talk about the Trail:

Heather Miller - biked the trail over 2 summers
"People were amazed when I told them I was riding to Montreal - they had visions of me taking the 401. I had toured before so I knew to expect the smells and to see things that you miss in a car. I enjoyed the Prince Edward County area so much that I went back with my boyfriend and rode that part of the trail again along with other Prince Edward County roads."

Karen Napady - walked the Trail in 9 walks of 105 kms; followed by 21 walks 4 years later
"It was extrememly interesting passing through the communities along the Waterfront, instead of whizzing by along the Highway. I found the history, geography and wildlife most interesting. My favourite spots were Sioux Lookout Park to Fishermans' Wharf Park (Oakville) to Gairlock Gardens, Port Darlington…Port Hope, Woods Cemetary at the corner of HWY 2 and Union between Salem and Brighton, Jordan Valley. I will always be proud to say that I completed the Waterfront Trail!"

Kathlene Willing - biked the Trail over two summers
"Looking for adventure and challenge, I found it. My adventure was journeying into the unknown and the challenge was reading the map and finding the signs at critical turns."

The Crazy Eights -walked the Trail in a series of four day trips
"We call ourselves 'the Crazy Eights-- our average age is 77. We plan four consecutive hiking days in the spring when we sally fourth with daypacks, sturdy boots, etc…and no cars…use trains and buses 'to get there'."
