Note: Final Feasibility Study to be released in late Spring 2011
The potential Kinghorn Rail Trail project would create a 110km multi-use four season trail linking the communities of Nipigon, Red Rock, Dorion, Shuniah and Thunder Bay. These five communities have initiated an initial Feasibility Study which is now underway, as well as an engineering study (underway shortly) to assess the existing bridges along the route.
The five noted communities have established an Ad Hoc committee and a Working Group to pursue the project and have hired MacLeod Farley & Associates to undertake a Feasibility Study in February and March 2011. The release of the feasibility study is expected in the next few months, and the date will be announced as soon as it is known. A draft Concept Paper was released on March 12th.

The proposed Kinghorn Rail Trail is envisioned as part of the Trans Canada Trail which is scheduled to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific by 2017. The national Trans Canada Trail organization is not a project proponent. However, Trans Canada Trail is an active supporter of the project work to date.
