EASTERN ONTARIO TRAILS ALLIANCE Its goal is “to develop, manage, maintain and market a comprehensive network of year round shared use recreational trails in the area, recognizing that there are other future uses for corridors i.e. utility. In September 1997 the Hastings/Quinte/Land o’ Lakes Recreational Steering Committee was formed as a vehicle for bringing together people and groups who had an interest in developing a regional trails network. Representatives were from area municipalities, various trail groups, Chamber of Commerce, Conservation Authorities, and individuals. This umbrella trails group was renamed the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance in the spring of 1998. The Organization was incorporated in 1999 under the mandate provided to it by the Province of Ontario and various Municipal Corporations of Eastern Ontario (Goals and Objectives). Thanks to funding sources and partners, the Alliance has completed an inventory of abandoned rail lines and existing trails; involvement of landowners; an overall strategic Master Plan; a management plan for future operation, maintenance and marketing of the trails network; identified economic opportunities relating to trails and tourism; the creation of jobs and the production of a tourism trail map and internet web site.”
