The K&P Trail

Ken Fisher | Jun 16, 2021

For some 13 years I have been hiking and skiing the K&P north of Sharbot Lake. Today’s K&P is miraculous. I would not recommend cycling 'no-hands', but this trail is so smooth and old guy like me can do it. Thanks to the support of Frontenac County and its Townships, the funds were found and wisely invested. Here’s a shout-out to all the volunteers (Wayne Robinson), the politicians (Frances Smith) and the County’s staff (Richard Allen) who have made this happen.

In traditionally flooded areas, the trail has been raised. In a ditch near Bell Line Road, a decades old dump was removed. Now, the amount of trash left on the trail has dropped to almost nothing.

Two evenings ago, I ran into the 12 members of the Hollywood-Brewer Road cycling group, 3 independent cyclists, 1 ATV and a family of 6 - walking. I have never, ever seen such use.

And today, I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Higgs, Deputy Mayor – Frontenac Islands, a trail enthusiast, who with his friends were on Day 3 of a 4-day tour of the K&P. (pic. below)

The K&P is a gem for our citizens. It is also a gem for tourists who are our economic driver.

I urge you to find a way to enjoy the K&P. Enjoy nature. Enjoy Frontenac serenity.
