Rideau Trail Milestone

Rideau Trail Milestone

Today The Passionate Hiker was proud recipient of a badge, which marks his completion of the Central section of the Rideau Trail.  This section is 67.4 kilometres long, running from Lally Homestead in the South, to Rosedale in the North, via the towns of Perth and Smiths Falls.  I completed this section in a series of seven hikes between 29 June and 1 August.

My goal of course is to walk the entire Trail, and early planning is already under way for the southern section, much longer at 152.9 km, between Kingston and Lally Homestead, through the rugged and often isolated Canadian Shield country.
