A
Guide for Trail Users
Trail
users should note that several local roads cross the
trail. While these crossings are well marked both
on-trail and on-road, caution should still be used when crossing.
The trail gradient is gentle and has been graded at
road crossings to facilitate wheelchair access.
The trail surface is uniformly 3 meter wide asphalt
and concrete except for the wooden bridge over Six
Mile Creek.
No
matter what activity you enjoy, it is important to
follow some basic rules to ensure the Friendship Trail
is safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Trails
are maintained by local school and community groups
through the Friendship
Trail Adopt-a-Trail program. Please help
our community keep the trail clean. |
| Did
you know? |
 |
All cyclists 17 years of age
and under are required by Ontario Provincial legislation
to wear certified bicycle helmets. Wearing an approved
helmet can greatly reduce the risk of death or permanent
brain injury from a collision or fall. Ride safe!
