The Ganaraska Hiking Trail originated with the idea of the Willow Beach Field Naturalists of Northumberland County in the early 1960s for a trail to allow naturalists access to the unspoiled countryside. The Ganaraska Hiking Trail from Port Hope to Lindsay was officially opened on April 21, 1968. The Barrie section transects the Minesing Wetlands between Springwater Provincial Park to Highway 90. You can learn more about the trail route and get trail maps here.
