Tay River Towpath Trail
Immerse yourself in Perth’s 200-year history along this 10-km stretch of the Rideau Trail on natural and paved surfaces. Travel either upstream or downstream from the hub at the Tay Basin, using the “navigational trail markers” to guide you, much like buoys in the Tay River. Look through circular viewfinders in each marker to sight the next one and chart your course along the trail. Trailhead at junction of Thom and John streets.
