On April 21, 1968 the Ganaraska Trail was officially opened in a ceremony attracting several hundred people including public officials, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Today the Trail travels more than 500 km from Lake Ontario to the Bruce Trail near Collingwood and Georgian Bay at Wasaga Beach. To mark this 50th anniversary, a series of events are planned including a public hike on Saturday April 21.  This is an easy 6km hike along the Ganaraska River beginning at 10am at Port Hope Town Hall. All are welcome.
