ORO-MEDONTE RAIL TRAIL

The Oro-Medonte Rail Trail runs from Orillia to downtown Barrie.

The last CN train passed through in September 1996. The abandoned rail line was turned into
a trail, giving users the opportunity to explore beautiful Oro-Medonte along the way.
Embrace the outdoors; from active osprey nests to busy beavers in their beaver pond, to quiet
wetlands and great blue herons; the flat and crushed gravel route, Lake County Oro-Medonte
Rail Trail, linking the cities of Barrie and Orillia, definitely has something for those looking to
connect with nature.
