It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Allen MacPherson on Monday June 12th, 2023. Al's list of accomplishments is long and inspiring. His passion for trails and their benefits to a community, as well as his tireless efforts for making them a reality is the foundation on which the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail was built. Al will be deeply missed.
Read MoreIt has come to our attention that trail users have been parking in the Lindsay Recreation Complex parking lot and receiving parking tickets.
There are several paid lots managed by Fleming College around the Frost campus, however the Lindsay Recreation Complex parking lot is managed by the City of Kawartha Lakes and is only free for Recreation Complex use. Paid parking in Fleming College lots is available to trail users for parking in this area.
All of the above mentioned lots are heavily monitored by parking enforcement. Failure to abide by parking regulations may result in a parking ticket.
Just in time for summer, the upgrade and paving of 1.6 km of the Omemee section, from Sibley Avenue to Emily Street of the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail is now complete and accessible for all public non-motorized use.
