Park to Park Trail Association
The Park to Park Trail Association is a Canadian registered charity (Business Registration Number: 861071793RR0001) dedicated to maintaining a multi-use trail network spanning approximately 230 kilometres (140 mi) in central Ontario. The trails connect natural and cultural landmarks across municipalities, including Parry Sound, Seguin Township, and the Municipality of McMurrich/Monteith.
Trail network and usage
The association’s primary trail, the Seguin Trail, covers 80 km (50 mi) from Parry Sound to Kearney, following the historic route of the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway. This rail line, constructed in the late 19th century by timber magnate J.R. Booth, once transported lumber and grain between Algonquin Park and Georgian Bay. Contemporary trail users include hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, and off-road vehicles such as ATVs, snowmobiles, and dirt bikes, with certain sections restricted to non-motorized activities.
Ecological significance
The trail network passes through provincially significant wetlands that provide critical habitat for threatened species, including Blanding’s turtles and the Algonquin wolf (Canis lycaon), a threatened subspecies. The association encourages reporting sightings of these species to support conservation efforts.
Maintenance and advocacy
As a volunteer-driven organization, the association collaborates with local governments and partners to preserve trail accessibility while balancing ecological stewardship. It emphasizes sustainable use, offering paper maps sold to fund maintenance and ensure navigational reliability in remote areas with limited digital connectivity.
Historical context
The trails incorporate former colonization roads, urban pathways, and abandoned rail beds, reflecting the region’s logging and transportation history. Remnants of railway infrastructure, such as weathered ties and cleared corridors, remain visible along the Seguin Trail.

Park to Park Trail: Closed for the Season As the season has now ended, we are announcing that Park to Park Trail is closed for the season. It has been an incredible season, and we would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers, municipal partners, funding partners, and supporters who have made it possible for us to maintain and improve the different sections of the trail. There’s still more work to be done, but we are satisfied with the progress we’ve made this year. None of this would be possible without the support of our membership, and we simply could not do this without your contributions. Your support ensures that our trail continues to be a vital and beautiful resource for all to enjoy. Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce that our Annual ATV Fundraiser will take place on June 14th, 2025. This event will offer trail members an opportunity to show their continued support for the Park to Park Trail. Registration is now open on our website, and we invite you to join us in making this event a success. Thank you again to everyone who supported Park to Park Trail this year. We’re looking forward to another great season in 2025! 📷 @comewalkwithusacrosscanada (fb)
