About G2G
Our Vision Statement
To develop and maintain a continuous, safe, and fully inclusive G2G Rail Trail Experience that is 132 km of linear, multi-use green space from the 401 corridors at Guelph, Ontario to the shores of Lake Huron in Goderich, Ontario. G2G Rail Trail is a natural, historical and culturally significant conservation corridor that supports community recreation and active transportation, promotes health and well-being and brings awareness to rural agriculture, heritage, and the environment. These lands were traditionally governed by the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples, in accordance with the Dish with One Spoon Treaty. This statement is made to recognize and respect the connection that Indigenous Nations have to this land.
Trail Advisory Committees
The Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail, which has become known as G2G, runs 132 km along the former CPR railway line, stretching from downtown Guelph to the waters of Lake Huron. It is overseen and maintained by volunteers and steward groups who are passionate trail enthusiasts. The G2G Rail Trail's volunteer based advisory committee adopted the responsibility of coordinating the maintenance of the trail. The central purpose and goal of this committee is to utilize the provided operational plan for the conduction of maintenance and trail development, using all best practices and resources that G2G has available.
Charitable Purpose
G2G Rail Trail Experience is a charitable organization that prides itself on inclusiveness and accessibility. Whether you are a seasoned rider or simply looking for a way to get some fresh air, G2G Rail Trail is the path for you. Upgrades and efforts that are put into this greenspace are done by our volunteer base and donations. Without the generous time and monetary donations, we wouldn’t be where we are today!
