"In August 2000, Prince Edward Island became the first province in Canada to complete its section of the Trans Canada Trail. The aptly-named Confederation Trail was developed on abandoned railway lines and journeys along dramatic coastline and sparkling rivers, through hardwood groves and quaint villages.
The Trail is very nearly flat due to its railroad origins, and the fine crushed gravel surface makes it very easy to negotiate both on foot and on bicycle. As it passes through villages and towns, trekkers have a chance to stop, shop, have a snack and dine out. Watch for bright plum-coloured gates which mark the various entry points. The Trail offers unlimited opportunities for nature lovers, artists, hikers, photographers, berry pickers, birders, and anyone looking for a nice place to spread a blanket for an afternoon picnic." (

"The Confederation Trail, once the railway route across PEI and now a groomed walking and biking trail stretching right across the province, passes through the centre of Summerside and on through the heart of the region. Pick up a bicycle or take a stroll on this level, easy-to-negotiate trail. Plan to begin at the pavilion that marks the birthplace of the TransCanada Trail, just in the centre of the city." (
