PORT HOPE TRAILS
Port Hope offers both rural and urban trails for walking, cycling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
✓ New for 2018 Naming of Trails program! Watch for details and updates to trail signage and wayfinding
along the Ganaraska River (Phase 1 of this project).
✓ The Port Hope section of the Waterfront Trail connects Clarington to the west and Hamilton Township
through Cobourg to the east. The urban section of the waterfront trail on the east side of the Ganaraska River
with spectacular views of Lake Ontario features the dedicated handiwork of volunteers that made this trail
possible including benches, bird feeders, a gazebo, boardwalk and viewing area. This section also tributes the
community leaders who played a key role in the trails development – The Keith Richan Walkway, Peter Huffman
Trail and the A.K. Sculthorpe Memorial Woodland Marsh. The Waterfront Trail is also a natural waystation for
monarch butterflies and provides the resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations
and sustain their migration. Update: The Port Hope Waterfront Trail experienced extensive damage with record
high water levels in Lake Ontario in 2017. Some sections of the Trail remain closed. Repairs will be completed
pending water levels in spring and summer of 2018. Residents and visitors are asked to be diligent in obeying
postings and notices.
✓ The Ganaraska Trail Pine Ridge section starts at the cairn opposite the Town Hall in Rotary Park beside
the Ganaraska River. With 65 kilometers of varied terrain, this section is easy and novices should have no
difficulties.
✓ Try the new Greenbelt Route that was created to make it easier for Ontarians to access the natural beauty
of the Greenbelt. It connects dozens of rural communities, encouraging tourists to cycle to their destinations
and support local economies. Visit their website greenbelt.ca/route.
