Mayor Marolyn Morrison — Caledon’s trail systems are there for everyone to enjoyThe Town of Caledon features more than 65 parks and has access to 260 kilometres of trails. Our interconnected trailway system is second-to-none in Ontario and our own Caledon Trailway is more than 35 km long. In 1989, the Town purchased a section of an abandoned railway and in 1994, work began to create what is now known as the Caledon Trailway; a natural trail system that promotes the enjoyment and appreciation of our community's unique cultural and natural features. The trail bisects all major landscape features in Caledon: the Humber and Credit Rivers, the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara Escarpment. Stationlands Park can be found in Caledon East (the site of the Trans Canada Trail pavilion), and the trail also passes through Palgrave, Cheltenham and Inglewood. Caledon's Trans Canada Trail pavilion was the first of its kind in Canada, built in 1996. The park also features a pond and Caledon's Walk of Fame. There are a number of trails in Caledon, including the Bruce Trail, a hiking trail following the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory; the Humber Valley Heritage Trail, a hiking trail from Bolton to Palgrave, along the scenic Humber River; the Oak Ridges Trail, 10 km of this trail is in Caledon, and it links with the Caledon Trailway just outside of Palgrave; and the Grand Valley Trail, with six km of this trail in Caledon, starting in Alton and going east to Lake Erie to name just a few. An up-to-date, interactive map of the Caledon Trailway and the many other trailways is available on the Town's website (www.caledon.ca). The Caledon Trailway can be used by pedestrians, horseback riders, cyclists and cross-country skiers. Cyclists must give pedestrians the right of way and access on the trail. Pedestrians and cyclists must yield to horses and riders. All pets are to be on a leash and of course, the stoop and scoop rule applies. As the trailway abuts private property, we ask you to be courteous at all times and respect private property by ensuring you remain on the trail. Because our trails are kept in a natural state, they are not maintained during the winter and unauthorized motor vehicles are not permitted at any time on any off-road trail within the Town of Caledon. We ask you to report parks and trail maintenance concerns and vandalism to the Parks and Recreation Department at 905-584-2272, ext. 4248. There are so many options for people of all ages to enjoy outdoor recreation and I encourage you to make the great outdoors a part of your active lifestyle.
