The trail is 280 kilometres in length along the Oak Ridges Moraine, about 50 kilometres of it within Peel Region. The trail also traverses Northumberland County and York and Durham Regions. It is designed primarily as a hiking trail, however other uses such as mountain biking and equestrian uses are permitted in sections determined by the land owner. Signage regarding permitted uses is provided on the trail.
