Route
The Waterfront Trail follows County Road 2 through the Township
of Augusta, passing by rolling countryside and farmland. The Village
of Maitland, located within the Township, is rich in history, offering
a variety of heritage sites, and Homewood Museum, which is housed
in a Late-Georgian stone residence built in 1799.
- Asphalt, on-road, County Rd 2
- paved shoulders between Brockville and Maitland. Caution should
be exercised on County Rd 2 east of Maitland where some stretches
have narrow shoulders. Care should be taken since the speed limit

trucks).
