Access Issues
The area to the east approaching King St is closed due to construction as at December 2019. The construction fence can be walked around with a "little" effort but the bypass is not marked and is not part of the trail so take care and beware!

Description
A mixture of environments, some street hiking, a portion along the Saint Lawrence River waterfront, a section through evergreen woods, a portion through rocky woods, a section near over the Gananoque River and a stroll along an old railway line route. Not a hard hike. There are several side trails as well, especially near the Gan River, all worth a look. Check out this link for an attached guide and map.
