**NEW** The TransCanada Trail is the World's longest network of trails. When it is fully connected, it will stretch 22,500 kilometres from Pacific to the Atlantic to the Arctic Oceans! This in turn will link 1,000 communities and 34 million Canadians!
Today, more than 16,500 kilometres of trail are developed. Millions of Canadians and international visitors are using the trail to hike, cycle, ski, horseback ride, canoe and snow machining.
The Trans Canada Trail is made up of over 400 community trails, each with diverse features and unique landscapes. Thousands of Canadians, community partner organizations, corporations, local businesses and all levels of government are involved in developing and maintaining these trails and creating our world-renowned national trail.
The trail is now approximately 73% complete. Two hundred gaps remain to be filled in order to achieve a fully connected trail by 2017.
The TransCanada Trail runs in parallel with the Path of the Voyageur initiative and we are proud to be apart of the 'Path of the Paddle'!!
