As you know this is NOT a City of Kawartha Lakes municipal trail. This is a 44-kilometre trail that is solely maintained and paid for by volunteers and donors like you. Our energy for continuing this work is strong. We are filled with BIG ideas for enhancing our trail and constantly looking for our “next step” to enrich the lives of trail users as they travel along the trail. Al MacPherson Your generosity has brought us such a great distance since 2007—will you continue to help our President, Kawartha Trans organization? We are strong because of your financial support. We are looking to the future with Canada Trail Association BIG dreams for trail users—your help plays a BIG part in our ability to make our trail the best trail (KTCTA) in the entire Trans Canada Trail system forming part of the longest trail in the world.
