Nobody

told me I

would be

building

trail!


• The K&P Trail is a rail-to-trail conversion that travels north from the City of Kingston on the shores of Lake Ontario to the town of Renfrew on the Ottawa River.

• Of 150 total km, approximately 90 km are “developed”

• Frontenac County is host to approximately 85 km, of which 55 have been “developed” to-date.• Remaining 30 km is used primarily by

motorized trail users, but these sections are not yet “managed”

• The K&P Corridor plays a key connection in the development of a network of rail trails emerging across Eastern Ontario consisting of:• Ottawa Valley Rail Trail• Tay-Havelock Trail• Cataraqui Trail












Once we close the final gap…


Sharbot Lake

Kingston

Wolfe Island

We’ll shift from building infrastructure…



…to connecting communities…

…and creating incredible experiences!
