In early August, 1812, General Isaac Brock marched overland from the Head of the Lake [present-day Hamilton] to Dover on Lake Erie. He and his men set sail for Amherstberg and took Fort Detroit. The route Brock took is very nearly approximated by the current rail-trail network from Hamilton to Port Dover.P P

Whether you're biking, jogging or walking, with more than 125 kilometres of community trails in Kitchener, there is a trail near you to enjoy. The Iron Horse Trail, a part of the Trans Canada Trail, runs 5.5 kms between Ottawa Street in Kitchener and Erb Street West in Waterloo, providing a scenic and historic route that links both cities. Formerly a railway corridor, the trail is the result of a partnership which saw both cities jointly purchase the abandoned rail line to preserve the corridor and for use as a recreation and transportation trail link. As well, not far from the hustle and bustle

Discover Kitchener / Waterloo of the city is the Walter Bean Grand River Trail - a little piece of paradise where lush trees tower overhead and the Grand River flows nearby. Running through Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Woolwich and North Dumfries, the trail connects to more than 25 per cent of the Grand River's 290 kms watershed. For more

information, visit www.kitchener.ca and search “trails.”
