Cramahe / Colborne - www.cramahetownship.ca

Route

In Cramahe Township, the Trail follows the route used by settlers almost two hundred years ago, which gives you a strong sense of history-vintage architecture, historic murals, Victoria Square all contribute to this sense. King Street has some excellent places to stop to grab a bite and along the way you'll see fabulous antique shops. Need a snack along the way? This is apple country. In the mosaic of farms that stitch it together, McIntosh (Ontario's favourite), Granny, Cortland, Northern spy, Empire, Gala and Delicious apples are grown and many orchards and farms welcome the public.
