leave the path to claim the find. After a long winter of being
bored out of my skull due to my caching being limited because of
the snow, I set about planning a few caches this is one of them.
Enjoy.
Chrysler Canada
Greenway - CR18 - Con.6 section Time to get walking no parking
provided for this section but there are plenty of parking lots at
different sections feel free to walk along this greenway and enjoy
all that essex county countryside has to offer. In 1995, with a
significant donation from Chrylser Canada (now DaimlerChrysler
Canada Inc.), the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA)
purchased 42 km of abandoned railway coridor to preserve this
significant corridor. An 18 month public planning process
determined that the property would best benefit the community as a
multi-use recreational trail, underground utility corridor and a
natural green space. The corridor begins south of Oldcastle, and
continues south through the Towns of McGregor and Harrow. Here, it
turns east and proceeds through Kingsville to Ruthven at
Colasanti's Tropical Gardens. In the past several years, additional
extensions have been purchased and currently, the Greenway is
nearly 50 kilometres in length. The Greenway is one of Canada's
most beautiful trails for hiking, biking running, birding, cross
country skiing and in some areas, horseback riding. It connects
natural areas, rich agricultural lands, historically and
architecturally significant structures, award winning wineries and
many other features that make the Essex Region unique. The Greenway
effectively joins 25 otherwise separate natural areas and three
watersheds. It significantly improves the quality of life in the
Essex Region by connecting people to nature and culture in a way
that is accessible to all. It is also the southern-most section of
the Trans-Canada Trail. Because of the success of the initial
Greenway trail, in 2001, CN donated an addition 26 kilometre
stretch of abandoned rail line that stretches from Amherstburg to
the urban centre of Essex and intersecting with the existing
Greenway. This section will be developed into a recreational trail
as funding allows, bringing our vision of a region connected by
trails one step closer to reality.
