Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail follows a former railway corridor for roughly 34 kilometres between Collingwood and Angus, passing through Stayner and New Lowell along the way. This flat, crushed-gravel trail runs through quiet countryside between the communities, making it a popular route for walking and cycling. Trains ran along this line until 2011, before it became the shared-use trail it is today, ideal for walking or riding at your own pace.

Millennium Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Millennium Park sits at the northern tip of Collingwood Harbour, right beside the town’s landmark grain terminals, with fantastic open views across Georgian Bay to Blue Mountain. Benches and a large grassy lawn make it an easy place to linger by the water, with interpretive signs sharing some of the harbour’s history. On summer days, the pier is a popular fishing spot, and the occasional food truck is a nice bonus if you’d like to stay for lunch.
