The Environment Network is proud to present a new website featuring the trails along Georgian Bay from Penetanguishene to Tobermory.  The Environment Network, a non-profit, non-government organization committed to environmental enhancement, has been in the process of developing and promoting the economic, social and environmental benefits of trails over since its inception in 1993.  This website is part of the Environmental Networks' Trails in Southern Georgian Bay Project, whose goal is to provide the public with comprehensive information of the trails along southern Georgian Bay, increase public awareness of the surrounging communities, promote local heritage sites and tourism in the area.  

A unique feature of this website is the Interactive Trail Map, which would allow users to view the details of each route by using the Trail Map's unique "zooming" feature.  The Trail Map uses a system of coordiante translation of GPS UTM data.  By entering trail marker coordinates, the system will locate these points on the map. 

The trails of Georgian have something for everyone.  Users will appreciate having access to information about each trail, such as length, difficulty and uses.  There is as a description of what visitors can expect to see along the trail, including plants and wildlife along the route.  Links to trails associations and local communities are also provided.

The website is easy to use and provides a varielty of information, from details of trails to information on the local communities.  The Trail Map allows users to plan their trip to the minutest detail using the system of GPS UTM data.  The website is for people seeking adventure in the outdoors to plan a challening route along beautiful Georgian Bay.  It will also for those who want to enjoy a day or several days of relaxation and some leisurely exercise.  

There is much to do and see along Georgian Bay.  It combines a breath-taking natural environment, interspersed with communities full of friendly people, heritage sites and lovely places to visit.  With this website, the Environment Network has brought the Georgian Bay trails and local communities closer to people from all over the world.  We hope you will visit us!
