Public parking at N 44 39.181 W 079 26.148 Just a quick note about
this trail, keep an eye out for poison ivy. It's out in full force
this time of year. As a question of which trail to take, either one
is fine. It's not a difficult find but it is a very beautiful area
for a nice afternoon walk. The trail was originally used to
transport grain from the prairies to the markets of Europe. Wheat
came by ship from Thunder Bay to Port McNicoll, then by train via
Uhthoff and Orillia en route to the Atlantic. At peak season, four
trains per hour would pass along the route. Passenger service
stopped in 1965 and the railway line was abandoned in 1985. In
1988, the land for the first half of the trail from one half mile
south of the Uhthoff Quarry to Coldwater was sold by the CPR. This
purchase was financed by the township of Severn, Orillia
Naturalists Club and the Orillia District Snowmobile Club. This
trail would not be possible without the support and countless hours
of dedication by its volunteers.
