Where is it?
It’s in Canada.
The Great Trail connects all 13 provinces and territories, as well as a whopping 15,000 Canadian communities! Remember, this is the second largest country in the world.

The Great Trail captures the diverse and scenic Canadian landscapes in all its magnificence. Certain sections of the train will require canoeing and kayaking along waterways, while others allow for biking, horse-riding and of course, hiking.

This trail is the culmination of efforts across various government organisations and volunteer groups throughout the country, from the rural corners to the urban cities. Although the trail is completed, The Great Trail’s website states that the “work is far from over” as they will continue to maintain it for the sake of its users for generations to come.
Outdoor lovers, what are you waiting for? Canada is calling!
