South River Trails

 

The South River Forgotten Trails are a series of on-road and off-road hiking and cycling trails which are maintained throughout the seasons.  The trails left behind by previous inhabitants have been studied, cleared, and opened again so that people interested in wilderness or history can take in the wonders that surround the Almaguin Highlands.  There is something for everyone at any level of ability.  Follow the footsteps of the early settlers by hiking and cycling the early colonization roads such as the Old Nipissing Road, Old Rye Road, and Old Muskoka Road.  With its natural beauty and historical importance, the Old Nipissing Road has been designated a part of the Trans Canada Trail.
