Pembroke, ON: The County of Renfrew is continuing to build out the Algonquin Trail from the recently completed twenty-one kilometres between Renfrew and Cobden with the approval of a tender to improve the trail between Cobden and the City of Pembroke and a portion in Laurentian Hills Township. Once complete, this thirty-seven kilometre section will complete the Algonquin Trail/Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail from Smiths Falls to the Town of Petawawa.

The contractor, G.P. Splinter Forest Products of Pembroke who was the successful bidder, plans to start work shortly, and will work as long as weather permits and continue into 2022 for the completion of the improvements. The County wants to remind all users to obey and respect all posted signage during this time.

“The importance of the Algonquin Trail has never been greater especially with the recent sale of a major section of the CN line in the City of Pembroke. This large improvement to the Algonquin Trail will benefit tourism and economic development in Renfrew County and for our friends in the City of Pembroke. The County looks forward in working with the local snowmobile and ATV clubs who have expressed an interest in supporting the work in this tender,” Chair of the Algonquin Trail Advisory Committee, Councillor Bob Sweet.

“These improvements to the Algonquin Trail will assist our local economy to rebound during COVID-19, as we attract new trail users by increasing the access and usability of the trail. The trail has become increasingly more popular during the pandemic as more people choose to access safe and healthy-lifestyle activities,” shared Warden Debbie Robinson.

The Algonquin Trail is part of the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail and is owned and managed by the County of Renfrew in partnership with Lanark County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron.
