The Niagara Escarpment is the most significant land form in southern Ontario, designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990. The Bruce Trail was conceived in 1960 in order to establish a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Escarpment. June 2017
marked the 50th anniversary of the official opening of the Bruce Trail.
This book is the story of the building of the Bruce Trail, the longest and oldest marked footpath in Canada. It runs along the Niagara Escarpment from Queenston Heights on the Niagara River to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. The Trail system includes more than 890 km of
main Trail and over 400 km of associated side trails.
The Bruce Trail story is an outstanding example of citizens involved in the conservation of a major natural resource. The Trail is known around the world and is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of hikers and walkers every year.
