Throughout the seasons, walk, jog, hike, cycle, cross-country ski, snowshoe, in-line skate or even ride along our trails on horseback.

Our trails will lead you through a variety of pleasant landscapes. Explore urban centres, small hamlets, wetlands, lush green forests, and reconnect with the fresh outdoors. Enjoy active healthy living and get the most out of life as a family, with friends or on your own.

More than 350 kilometres of recreational trails intertwine throughout Durham Region. You will truly be amazed by our trails and surrounding environment.
