Hike Canada – The National Trail

Canada has a National Hiking Trail. Formerly known as the Sentier National Trail, Canada’s National Hiking Trail is planned to stretch over ten thousand kilometers. Although Canada has other trails, like the Trans Canada Trail, that are able to be used for multiple uses, the National Hiking Trail is intended for foot use only.

Canada has been working on this trail since 1971. As of today, only three-thousand kilometers of the trek have ever been completed. This means that the Canadians have still not even finished building half of the hike they envisioned. The sections that are finished differ greatly in their lengths. Some sections are only a few kilometers, while other sections are several hundred kilometers long. Some of these major portions of the National Hiking Trail even stretch across the larger Canadian cities of Quebec and Ontario. The Ontario section actually follows the Voyager Trail.

Some sections of the National Hiking Trail merge with the Trans Canada Trail. Other areas parts of the trail offer alternative hiking routes to the Trans Canada Trail, which is useful for people who get nervous from hiking around bikers. For the most part, the National Trail contains rugged terrain that would be too much for the majority of skiers to handle. Although, more experienced skiers and snowshoers actually do utilize parts of the trail.

The National Trail is a beautiful place to experience the natural pleasures of the strange wilderness country to the north of the United States. it provides an excellent motivation for people to schedule holidays to Canada.
