The Uxbridge Town Trail system is a network of trails in the town of Uxbridge with the goal to connect to the major trails to the south (the Trans-Canada Trail and the Oak Ridges Trail). Each trail has a volunteer Trail Captain and a team of volunteers who maintain the trail.  The Town Trail system is a program of the Township of Uxbridge, the "Uxbridge, Naturally" group and other volunteer groups.  Historical information on the trails is provided by the Uxbridge Historical Centre.

 

The Uxbridge Town Trails have four aims:

- help residents to appreciate the beauty of their town

- link various sections of town together for walkers and bikers

- encourage healthy outdoor exercise

- foster appreciation of the natural environment

Eight trails are already in place with more in the planning stages:

The Quaker Trail (2.2km)                             The South Balsam Trail (2.5km)

The Wooden Sticks Trail (2km)                     The Ewen Trail (3.4km)

The Historic Trail (2.4km)                            The Maple Bridge Trail (1.5km)

The Barton Trail (2km)                                The Countryside Preserve Trail

(network of 6km of trails)

What's in the future?

The overall plan is to create Countryside Trails radiating out from town, and eventually connecting most of the hamlets and communities within the Township.  This complete trail system consisting of the Town Trails and the Countryside Trails will all connect with the Trans-Canada Trail (which crosses the entire country) and the Oak Ridges Trail (spanning the 150km of the Oak Ridges Moraine).
