2009 REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

We are happy to announce that registration is open for the 2009 tour! The second annual Great Waterfront Trail Adventure tour will run from July 4-11, 2009 starting in Niagara-on-the-Lake and finishing at the Quebec border. While the itineraries have not been finalized, we are working hard with local communities to develop next year's set of overnights, meals, rest stops and community events. While some details will change, a glimpse at last year's route and itinerary will give you an idea of the wide range of experiences you can expect as you visit the diverse and vibrant communities along the Waterfront Trail.

PRINTABLE ITINERARIES

Some people told us they were having trouble printing the daily itineraries for the tour. To address this, we've added a "Print this itinerary" button at the bottom of each daily itinerary. Please be aware that we continue to update the itineraries as newer information comes in so you may want to wait until just before the tour to print them out.
