The Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport has named the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail an Ontario Trail of Distinction.
The route includes 99km of path along Lake Erie, and another 69km by Lake St Clair, making Chatham-Kent the single-largest municipality in terms of trail length.
Earlier this month, 156 cyclists from across Canada and the US made their way along the route in the annual Great Waterfront Trail Adventure, spending two days exploring Chatham-Kent.
