This portion of the Trans Canada Trail (consisting of an abandoned CN branch line) begins in Neepawa and continues to Russell, passing through the communities along PTH45. Completed areas are ideal for hiking, walking, horseback riding, cycling, and cross?country skiing. Most of the 176 kms are groomed for snowmobiling in winter. Symonds “Rails to Trails” Kiosk in Sandy Lake features maps and pictorial histories of the Rossburn Subdivision of the CNR and the village. In 2010, the refurbishing of the entire trail was completed, providing a smoother surface for cycling and horseback riding.
