The Rotary Greenway Scenic River Road Trail (Lakefield Trail)
An 8.5km path from Trent University to Lakefield that was opened on July 5, 2000, to the general public. This trail was made possible thanks to the support of the Rotary Club; a club both Catherine and Ben have been a part of. It is a multi-use trail; cycling, walking, or you can host an event here and it is open year-round
