Perhaps as long as 2000 years ago the area was populated by Native people, mainly the peaceful Hurons. French explorers, missionaries and fur traders travelled the region beginning in the 1600s.
European settlers began arriving in the 1820s. In 1819 a Black Settlement was established in Oro. The last CN train passed through in September 1996. The abandoned rail line was turned into a rail trail which gives users the opportunity to explore beautiful Oro-Medonte along the way.
This section of the trail passes century old farms. I have often spotted white tail deer along this stretch of trail so keep your eyes open.
Cache is a small camoflaged lock-n-lock that might hold very small tradeables or a small coin.
