Welcome to FoRT

Friends of the Rail Trail, or FoRT for short, has been connecting community and rail trail in Haliburton County since 2007. Here's what's happening this year . . .

2018 marks our 10th season of Sunday Rambles!

Every weekend in April and May we ramble! Come rain or shine, blizzard or bugs - it's all fun in the company of Friends! Go to Page > Sunday Rambles to see a quick list of locations and lunches. Pick up our full colour brochure around the County.

Sunday June 3 - Annual Members Potluck Supper, 6 pm in the Log House at Wildwood Farm, Haliburton. Music by Chadmire + Taylor, who were so well recieved at the Stone Soup community supper in January. Limited seating. Tickets must be reserved in advance.

Sunday July 22 is the annual Stanhope Heritage Cycling Tour - an easy 10 km loop on quiet backroads followed by a picnic beside the rapids. Begins 10 am at Buttermilk Falls.

Thursday August 23 is the first ever Haliburton Tart Ride - a sociable bicycle ride down the rail trail to the bakeshop. 10:00 am from Rails End, 23 York St Haliburton Village to The Little Tart Bakeshop in the Hamet of Donald. See more here > Tart Ride.
