The Kissing Bridge Trailway travels for 45 km through rural communities and rivers and wetlands of southern Ontario from Guelph to Millbank along the right-of-way of a former railway.
The G2G Trail runs along the same former railway land that stretches over 124 km between Guelph and Goderich. The Kissing Bridge Trail makes up 45 km of the eastern stretch of the rail line. The western stretch, which starts in Goderich, is also a recreational trail.
Canadian Pacific was given permission by the Province of Ontario to abandon the railway in 1988, and the province purchased the land.
The Kissing Bridge Trailway was established in 1998, when the County of Wellington and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo jointly leased part of the line from the Province of Ontario for use as a recreational trail.
The trail surface is stone chip for much of the trailway. Because the trailway runs along former rail lands, it's largely flat and even and is well-suited for a number of uses:
• Hiking
• Running
• Cycling
• Cross-country skiing
• Snowshoeing
• Snowmobiling (in permitted sections)
No motorized vehicles or horses.
