Brantford’s attractions and historic sites from the trails, or take advantage of the fishing and canoeing opportunities offered by the Grand River.

HaMilToN To BraNTFord rail TrailThe Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail is Ontario’s first entirely off-road, interurban hiking and biking trail. The trail begins on the west side of Hamilton near McMaster University. Trail users can enjoy 32 km of stonedust trail on the abandoned railbed of the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway (TH&B). The east end of the trail travels through the County of Brant, crosses under Highway 403 into Brantford, and connects with Brantford’s extensive trail system. This level trail offers an easy route for cyclists and hikers.

Brock’s rouTETravelling along the trail from Hamilton to Brantford to Port Dover, Brock’s Route follows the Trans Canada Trail, Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail, City of Brantford Trails and the TH&B Rail Trail within Brantford and Brant County to trace the route that Isaac Brock took during the War of 1812. Trail markers along the route commemorate 200 years of peace.

sc JoHNsoN TrailStretching over 14 km, the stonedust SC Johnson Trail connects Brantford to Paris. Beginning at the northeast end of Paris, the trail follows the abandoned railbed of the Lake Erie and Northern Railway (LE&N) and ends at Wilkes Dam. Entering Brantford, the trail passes through a significant prairie habitat. In some areas the hilly terrain offers challenges of grades and tight turns. With scenic views, significant natural areas and a direct connection to Glenhyrst Art Gallery, the SC Johnson Trail offers a variety of activities for all ages.

ciTy oF BraNTFord TrailsBrantford’s trail system began as part of the system of dikes built to protect the City from the seasonal flooding of the Grand River. In 1993, that network of paths was named in honour of the late Gordon C. Glaves, a prominent Brantford resident and community volunteer. Today the Gordon Glaves Grand River Loop takes trail users on a 19 km scenic tour that travels along both sides of the river.Brantford’s trail systems are now more than 70 km long. The trails are shared use, and are ideal for hiking, jogging, cycling, exploring nature, and even cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Several footpaths can be accessed from the main trails in both Waterworks Pak and Gilkison Flats. Visitors can also access many of
