Trail systems in Haliburton County

Abstract

Tourism and recreation continue to grow in importance in Haliburton County and the development of a system of trails, both land and water, has become a major part of this incentive. This paper examines the state of prominent trails and trail associations in Haliburton County within the context of trail-related issues as identified in the Ontario Trails Council Final Report of 1977, concentrating on four of the seven issues of major concern; trail stability, occupier's liability, user compatibility, and trail maintenance and development funding. The history of the Haliburton Trails Network Strategy, being developed at the time of writing, is outlined with suggestions as to how some of these issues might be addressed in this strategy.
