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.


Summerstown

  • County Rd. 2 from Cornwall to Lancaster has a designated paved shoulder

  • There’s a Dairy Queen and a Tim Horton’s in Lancaster for Trail users in need of replenishment or a rest stop

  • South Service Rd east of Lancaster has narrow gravel shoulders - care should be taken as speed limit is 80 km/h

  • County Rd. 2 to the Quebec border has gravel shoulders – care should be taken as the speed limit is 80km/h

  • The Quebec border is the eastern terminus of the Waterfront Trail - from here, Trail users can link to La Route Verte, Quebec's vast network of bicycle routes. A kiosk and welcome signage now mark the connection between the two trail systems.
