The Hunters Bay Trail, built in 2005, is a 3.8 km walking, running, and cycling trail. It begins at the Centre Street bridge near KWH Pipe and winds along the river, the South shore of Hunters Bay, and ends at Hwy #11.
This geoart series will take you along the Hunters Bay Trail and teach you some environmental and historical information about Hunters Bay. This is a beautiful trail during all seasons. To help you picture the trail through out the year we have included a few photos.
"Thunder Bridge" was the original nickname of the first bridge on West Road that crossed the train tracks on the other side of these tressels. This cache was named after that bridge and the sound the trains make when standing at the location of this photo. This train trussel was built by the Grand Trunk Railway, which originally serviced the lumber mill, tannery, and was key to the birth of Huntsville. The diversion of this railway through Huntsville diverted industry from Hoodstown (situated at the other end of Lake Vernon) and turned it into a Ghost Town.
