About the Parkhill Trail Project
The first phase of the Parkhill trail project would be a six-kilometre-long accessible trail loop starting at Main Street in Parkhill and going into the old railway trail and then Parkhill Conservation Area.
The trail surface would be a packed-down chip-and-dust trail which could be used by people with walkers, strollers, or wheelchairs.
The proposed project would include an accessible parking lot and a shorter trail loop and a longer trail loop. One of many advantages to the proposed trail improvements is allowing people without access to a car to go on the trail.
