| Name | The Mono Tract Trail |
| Description | Located in a Dufferin County forest, this trail follows old logging roads. It’s not a difficult hike but don’t expect a perfectly groomed right-of-way. Consider it stroller-accessible, but with difficulty. Although not a developed recreational area, this is a pleasant area for a quiet walk. The cross-country skiing is great, but look out for cross traffic coming down hilly side trails. |
