The
Confederation Trail uses the right of way from the original PEI railway, which ceased operations in the 1980s. The
railway is quite a story in its own right, with a significant role to play in PEI joining the confederation. The colony of PEI had got into some financial difficulties with the cost of the railway and looked to the Federation to get it out of those difficulties.
The trail goes 230km from East to West, with the total distance being more than 400km. The track is largely flat and very well maintained. We cycled from Montague, in the East of the Island.
