Nature Trails near Angus, Ontario


Angus is a town in the amalgamated community of The Township of Essa.


The Township of Essa was named after the daughter of an Indian Chief, and was first surveyed in 1820.  It became a Township under the “Act for the better division of this Province” in 1821, whereby it formed part of the District of Simcoe. It became incorporated in 1850.  As such, the year 2000 marked its 150th Anniversary.   Since its inception, it has since truly become a place “Where Town and Country Meet” with its location being approximately one hour’s drive north of Toronto, in the heart of the County of Simcoe.


The Township of Essa provides a great place to live and work with its mix of urban, agricultural and rural areas and convenient access routes to major cities beyond its municipal borders.  It is home to beautiful rivers and picturesque landscapes.  Many community projects have been undertaken to help sustain pristine river conditions for the benefit of its fishing and wildlife.  


The municipality has a focus on safe and healthy community living for its residents and visitors.  It currently has three trails – the Rippon Trail and the Pine River Trail are both located in the town of Angus; the Thornton Cookstown Trans Canada Trail runs between the villages of Thornton and Cookstown.
