Millennium Trail

The Millennium Trail system serves as a County-wide recreational facility for local residents and visitors. The trail corridor is eight feet in width and 46 kilometers in length and a total land area of 73.5 hectares. The trail starts in Carrying Place and winds through The County to Picton with various vistas and natural landscapes.

The Millennium Trail is an important local off-road connection that links residents and communities along the entire 49 kilometer corridor length. Although, predominantly rural, the corridor passes through several urban areas that are characterized by adjacent residents, street crossings and connections to other walkway systems. The County acquired the abandoned rail line from the Canadian National Railway in 1997 for the purposes of developing a trail system through The County.

The Trail is accessible at several locations throughout The County with specific hiking points in Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield and Consecon.
