The name "Origins" refers to the origin of this trail as a pioneer road in the 1800s and the origins of the South March Highlands trail network as a portion of a larger network of ski, hike, and bike trails that originally extended far beyond the conservation forest.
Access Info
Trail will be re-routed in the future so it does not cross the railway tracks. Do not park at the railway crossing. You risk an expensive ticket and tow at your expense. The railway operators do not want people crossing the tracks. Please use one of the 3 official trailheads on Old Second Line Road instead.
