- In August, 2000, Prince Edward Island became thefirst province in Canada to complete its section ofthe Trans Canada Trail. Known as theConfederation Trail on Prince Edward Island, thetrail connects the Island from tip to tip; nearly 350kilometres of almost flat pathways developed onPEIs abandoned railway lines. The Trail takes youinto wetlands and hardwood groves, through quaintvillages and along sparkling rivers. This trails greatpopularity has led to the development of walkingpaths in many Island communities. The trail isnearly flat due to its origins as a railway line, andthe finely crushed rock dust surface makes it veryeasy to negotiate both on foot and by bicycle. As itpasses through villages and towns, trekkers have achance to stop, shop, have a snack and dine out.Watch for bright plum-coloured gates which markthe various entry points. In winter the trail is turnedover to snowmobilers, making an excellent tip-to-tipnetwork that even connects to several motels fordoor-to-door adventure.The Confederation Trail offers unlimitedopportunities for nature lovers, artists, historians,photographers, berry pickers, birders and anyonelooking for a nice quiet place to spread a blanketfor an afternoon picnic.Driving distances in Canadas smallest provincemay be short, and the rolling pastoral landscape istruly breathtaking, but travellers to Prince EdwardIsland will still enjoy a chance to breathe the freshclear air of this rural retreat. In recent years, manyIsland communities have developed boardwalksand walking trails that provide both residents andvisitors with a close-up look at the charming townsand villages across the province.Malpeque - John SylvesterNew London - John SylvesterStanhope - Louise VesseyConfederation Trail 2007 Tourism PEIprinceedwardislandtowelcomewelcometoprinceedwardislandwww.grouptravelplanner.net56prince edward island
