Trail is open to public year round. It is used by hikers, cyclists, naturalists, skiers and equestrians. The trail is 22 km and extends from Wilson Point Road to Coldwater; it is part of the Trans Canada Trail which spans from the east to west of Canada.
The trail was originally used to transport grain from the prairies to the markets of Europe. Wheat came by ship from Thunder Bay to Port McNicoll, then by train via Uhthoff and Orillia en route to the Atlantic. At peak season, four trains per hour would pass along the route.
Passenger service stopped in 1965 and the railway line was abandoned in 1985. The surface is crushed limestone and good for bicycles.
