Middle Head Trail Redevelopment

Middle Head Trail has been impacted as a result of extreme weather in November, 2021 and requires redevelopment. The existing trail is 3.8km, with sections requiring repairs being less than 3km in length. The Middle Head Trail is comprised of two segments: The Middle Head East segment (2132m) and the Middle Head West segment (1881m). Both segments are offering pedestrian and snowshoe activity and include features such as stone stairs, viewing areas and switchbacks. Drainage features will include frequent natural grade reversals, rock armoured dips, and culvert replacement. Some areas of work will include complete decommissioning of portions of the existing trail that will be rerouted with new construction.
