The Rose Point Recreational Trail Management Plan (pdf)

Welcome to the
Rose Point Recreational Trail!

The Rose Point Recreational Trail is 6 km in length and is owned by Seguin Township. The trail route travels from James Bay Junction Road South through to Rose Point Road along the old JR Booth Rail bed. The trail is an important link in the Park-To-Park Trail and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs TOP trail systems. The importance of this trail increases with being a vital link in larger provincial and regional trail systems. The rich history, geology and nature found along this trail provide a stunning environment for recreational trail users to enjoy. The Rose Point Recreational Trail is a huge economic driver in the area bringing in trail enthusiasts including Snowmobilers, ATVers, hikers, cyclists and cross-country skiers.

Trail Access Points:
- Glen Burney Rd.
