Grey Highlands and surrounding area offer some of the best hiking trails with the amazing scenic views. Check out the trails below or visit the County's website for more.
| The Bruce Trail |
| The Bruce Trail is Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath. It provides the only continuous public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Running along the Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, it spans more than 890 kilometres of main Trail and over 400 kilometres of associated side trails. |
| Armstrong Creek Trail |
| This trail is 600 metres and runs along the recently rehabilitated Armstrong Creek, located at the Rotary Park in Markdale. It is the first municipal trail within Grey Highlands and allows hikers to view and enjoy the stream improvements led by Trout Unlimited Canada. The removal of two dams and the installation of instream structures provides further form and function to the stream, as well as habitat features for fish and wildlife. |
| Grey County Forests |
| Grey County manages and owns 8 thousand acres of forest. In recent years, the county has been focusing on developing and maintaining extensive trail systems across these vast lands. While these trails are also used for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and cycling, they remain popular with hikers. Trails within these managed forests offer great beginner and family-friendly hiking and plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities. For a complete list of County Forests, please check the County of Grey website. |
| Grey County CP Rail Trail |
| This multi-use trail is 77 kilometres and begins at East Bayshore Road in Owen Sound and provides good views of Georgian Bay as the trail climbs in elevation and follows a wide arc east of the city and runs parallel to Highway 6 to Chatsworth. The trail surface is stone dusted from Owen Sound to Holland Centre and then turns to coarse gravel from Holland Centre to Dundalk. The portion from Holland Centre to Dundalk is a rougher trail and allows for ATV use, and would best be suited for mountain bikes only. It is a part of the Grey County Cycling Brochure. www.visitgrey.ca/travel-tools/guides-brochures |
