Route
The Waterfront Trail runs on scenic County Rd 2 through most of
the Township of South Glengarry. This winding stretch of road follows
the shoreline of the St. Lawrence River and passes through the quaint
villages of Glen Walter and Summerstown on the way to Lancaster.
East of Lancaster, the Trail follows the South Service Rd. for about
10 km before rejoining County Rd 2 for the final stretch extending
to the Quebec Border. |
