Trails

One of the best ways to enjoy a day in New Glasgow is to take a stroll along our 6km trail system that spans the community, winding along the scenic riverfront. The Samson Trail, Pioneer Trail and Johnny Miles Memorial Trail have been built along old rail line beds that once ran through the town; indeed the Samson Trail is where Canada’s oldest locomotive the Samson ran. Today you can run, walk or bike along these trails, on both the East and West Sides of New Glasgow. With approximately 2,000 people using the trails daily in the peak season, the trail system has become a vital recreational and leisure asset for all to enjoy.

All trails are wheelchair accessible, pet friendly and open year round with conveniently located washroom facilities and parking.
