What Makes Canada Cool?
Canada's creating the world's longest recreational trail - 18,078 km of hiking, biking, etc.
Prince Edward Island - Hike it, bike it, paddle it, snowmobile it, get a horse and ride it – Canada is creating the longest recreational trail in the world. Of the planned 18,078 km, 9000 km are operational at this point. Prince Edward Island was the first province in Canada to complete its section, which is called the Confederation Trail. After the railway was abandoned in 1989 the province-wide trail was developed following the flat terrain of the rail route. The trail stretches the island from tip to tip for 270 km, and has four branches which reach Charlottetown, the Confederation Bridge, Souris, Georgetwon and Monetague. This section of the Trans Canada Trail is open to walkers, cyclists, hikers, runners and people in wheelchairs. In the winter it's used by snowmobilers. When complete, the Trans Canada Trail route will link over 800 communities nationwide. P.E.I. Webcam
Where: Joined to New Brunswick by the 12.9 km Confederation Bridge, Canada's smallest province, rolling rural Prince Edward Island, is just 225 km wide. Historic Charlottetown is the birthplace of Canada's Confederation, and a great place to celebrate Canada Day. Island explorers can find great golf opportunties, beautiful beaches, the world's only potato musuem, Anne of Green Gables sites, lobster dinners, and a 70-mile-long September yard sale.
