Historical
The initial stretch of trail was acquired and developed, as land became available, in the early 1980s. This initiative was supported by the Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Program (ONIP) as part of its "Open Spaces" concept. The remaining portions of trail were developed between 1988 and 1991 under the Program For Renewal, Improvement, Development and Economic Revitalization (PRIDE) and ONIP.Ecological
