Confederation Trail

The Confederation Trail was developed on abandoned railway beds, and takes you across the Island, past wetlands and through hardwood groves, through quaint villages, and along sparkling rivers.

The Confederation Trail was completed in August 2000, and was designated Prince Edward Island’s portion of the Trans Canada Trail; the first province to complete its section.  Since then, Island communities have been working to add spur connections and to provide upgraded amenities to the trail.

In the summer season, activity on the Confederation Trail is limited to walking, hiking, running, cycling, and is accessible to wheelchairs.  In the snow months it is turned over exclusively to snowmobile use.  Alternative  trails for equestrian use are provided in both the western and eastern areas of the Island.

The Confederation Trail Cycling Guide will help you plan your cycling vacation on the Confederation Trail. Included in the guide are accommodations which participate in the “Cyclists Welcome Program”, which take the needs of cyclists into consideration and make their properties welcoming and easy for cyclists.
