There are many reasons why people choose to live in Uxbridge and the trails is certainly one of them. In 2008, Uxbridge staked claim to being the Trail Capital of Canada. No small feat considering the beauty that abounds Canada from coast to coast. Uxbridge is located an hour northeast of Toronto, making it easily accessible for tourists to spend a wonderful day exploring many trails that make up the 220 km. of managed trails on over 8000 acres of protected greenspace.

The Habitats of the Countryside Preserve

One of the prettiest trails to walk has got to be the Countryside Preserve Trail. Located in the Oak Ridges Moraine, it is made up of of 140 km. of rolling meadowland, wetlands, woodlands & ponds. Whether you are a hiking enthusiast or prefer to take a leisurely stroll, this trail is sure to provide what you are looking for. What a great way to spend time with family and friends - don't forget your dog. When you are done, don't go home before you treat yourself to an ice cream cone from Kawartha Dairy, located just up the street at 304 Toronto St. South.

I just got back about a week ago from a trip to Ontario, near Windsor.

I visited Toronto, and also went over to Niagara Falls.

It's really beautiful up there.

Maureen, I never knew that Uxbridge was the trail capital of Canada. Is this where trail mix comes from?
