Tay Shore Trail

Tay Shore Trail

From the Wye River to Waubaushene and into Port McNicoll along the Trestle Trail, users can enjoy the nature setting of the trail which is enhanced by informative plaques outlining the natural and historical aspects of our municipality.

The Tay Shore Trail passes through wetland, field and wooded areas, over the Wye, Hogg and Sturgeon Rivers and into our quaint community villages where you can stroll our downtowns and stop for lunch.

As with any trail that winds through natural areas, natural vegetation, including weeds are located along side the trail.  Please ensure you stay on the paved trail areas.
