A Little History
In September of 1997, the Hastings/Quinte/ Land O’ Lakes Recreation Trails Steering Committee was formed as a vehicle for bringing together people and groups who had interest in developing a regional trails network. Representatives were from area Municipalities, various trail groups, Chambers of Commerce, Conservation Authorities and individuals. This umbrella group was renamed the EASTERN ONTARIO TRAILS ALLIANCE in the spring of 1998.
The primary focus of the Alliance was the abandoned rail lines and some forest access roads in Hastings, Northumberland, Southeast Peterborough, Lennox and Addington, Frontenac and Lanark counties.
Thanks to funding sources and partners, the Alliance has created an overall strategic Master Plan, a management plan for the operations, development, maintenance and marketing of the trails network.
To date, EOTA has been able to redeck rail bridges, Install signage, gravel and grade trails, install culverts, trim brush and open and maintain hundreds of kilometers of multi usage trails.
