2016 confederation trail cycling guide
DESCRIPTION
When Prince Edward Island's railway was abandoned in 1989 Islanders were quick to notice a unique opportunity. The idea of a tip-to-tip shared use walking and cycling trail in the summer and a snowmobile trail in the winter was born. With beautiful rolling hill scenery, quaint villages and broad bay seascapes, the Confederation Trail is Canada's portion of the Trans Canada Trail. The 410 kilometers of rolled stone dust trail has gentle gradients which never exceed 2% (up or down). Lorsque le chemin de fer de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard fut abandonné en 1989, les Insulaires ont rapidement saisi l’occasion de créer un circuit unique menant d’un bout à l’autre de l’Île. Réservé aux randonneurs et aux cyclistes en été et aux motoneiges en hiver, le Sentier de la Confédération présente de beaux paysages vallonnés, de charmants villages et de magnifiques vues sur l’eau. Il s’agit du tronçon du sentier Transcanadien à l’Île.TRANSCRIPT
Destination Trails Sentiers incontournables
The Confederation Trail is Prince Edward Island’s portion of the Trans Canada Trail. The TCT began in 1992 as a legacy project of Canada’s 125th Anniversary. Over the past 24 years, this visionary idea has grown into 16,500 kilometres of connected Trail. In PEI the dedication and commitment of countless volunteers and the provincial government resulted in our province being the first in the country to complete the Trail. With 435 kilometres of rolled stone dust surface, it is a world class cycling and walking venue.
Island Trails promotes non-motorized trail use throughout PEI. It was primarily responsible for the recent development and enhancement of 7 “Destination Trails.” It is also the non-profit group which promoted the initial transformation of the old rail bed to the current Confederation Trail. This work has evolved into collaboration with the Trans Canada Trail and the Provincial Government departments of Tourism and Transportation to develop the trail system. Details, including maps on these and many other of PEI’s trails can be found at www.islandtrails.ca and www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5687567.

Le Sentier de la Confédération constitue la portion insulaire du Sentier transcanadien, un projet durable découlant du 125e anniversaire du Canada en 1992. Au cours des 24 dernières années, cette idée visionnaire a pris la forme de 16 500 km de sentiers. Grâce au dévouement et au travail acharné de nombreux bénévoles et du gouvernement provincial, l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard est devenue la première province à terminer sa section du Sentier transcanadien. Les 435 km de sentiers recouverts de poussière de pierre offrent une piste de première qualité aux randonneurs et aux cyclistes de l’Île.
Island Trails promeut l’utilisation non motorisée des sentiers de l’Île. En plus d’avoir récemment géré l’aménagement et l’amélioration de sept « sentiers incontournables », cet organisme à but non lucratif a soutenu la transformation initiale de l’ancien chemin de fer de l’Île en sentier. Depuis lors, l’organisme travaille en étroite collaboration avec le projet du Sentier transcanadien et les ministères provinciaux du Tourisme et des Transports pour développer le réseau du Sentier de la Confédération. On peut se renseigner davantage sur les nombreux sentiers de l’Île et consulter des cartes sur les sites www.islandtrails.ca et www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5687567.

Caches are set up all over the world, their locations coordinates are posted on the Internet and GPS users get to hunt for the cache. Geocaching originated in Beaver Creek, Oregon in 2000.
The Confederation Trail has 1800 geocaches placed along the 435 kilometers of the trail. There are over 5189 geocaches on P.E.I.

La géocachette est née en 2000 à Beaver Creek en Oregon.

International Appalachian Trail Info The Confederation Trail is the connector trail for North America’s section of the International Appalachian Trail (IAT) in PEI. From Borden Carleton, travel east via the Confederation Trail until you arrive at Royalty Junction, just outside of Charlottetown. You then have two options:
1. Stay on the main Confederation Trail to Mt. Stewart. Next, in Mt. Stewart veer right on the branch trail marked for Georgetown from there follow the IAT markers to Pisquid and off the Trail onto back roads. This route leads to the Dromore Woodland Trails, Prince Edward Island’s official designated section of the IAT. A back-road returns the hiker to an adjoining branch trail that leads to Wood Islands where you can catch the ferry to Nova Scotia.
2. The second option is to .hike the 9 kilometre trail spur line to Charlottetown (veer right at the Royalty Junction intersection). This route leaves the city via the Hillsborough Bridge, which crosses the designated Heritage Hillsborough River to Stratford. The Stratford Trail spur continues east for 58 kilometers to Wood Islands and the Northumberland Ferry.
Sentier international des Appalaches (SIA)Le Sentier de la Confédération sert de raccordement dans la région nord-américaine du Sentier international des Appalaches. À partir de Borden-Carleton, les randonneurs suivent le sentier vers l’est, puis ont deux options lorsqu’ils arrivent à Royalty Junction, tout près de Charlottetown.
1. Le sentier principal se rend jusqu’à Mount Stewart. Ensuite, la signalisation du SIA dirige les randonneurs en direction de Georgetown (embranchement de droite), puis jusqu’à Pisquid en empruntant des routes de campagne. Ce trajet passe par les sentiers boisés de Dromore, la section désignée du SIA à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Une route mène ensuite à une autre partie du sentier qui se rend jusqu’à Wood Islands, où les randonneurs peuvent prendre le traversier vers la Nouvelle-Écosse.
2. Le Sentier de la Confédération comprend une ligne sec-ondaire de 9 kilomètres autour de la ville de Charlottetown (vers la droite à l’intersection Royalty Junction). Ce tronçon prend fin sur le pont Hillsborough qui enjambe l’historique rivière Hillsborough et mène vers Stratford. De Stratford, le sentier fait 58 kilomètres jusqu’au traversier de Wood Islands.
