Heritage Walking Trail

The Bracebridge Heritage Walking Trail, originally created in 1981, takes visitors along a path of local monuments, historic sites and destinations significant to Bracebridge. The trail includes 12 signs located throughout the downtown and waterfront areas on either side of the Muskoka River, and at the historic octagonal home known as Woodchester. Each sign contains photographs and descriptions of locations significant to the Town's history. While walking the trail, visitors can appreciate and utilize the park lands and trails, visit downtown shopping and restaurants, and take in the view at the Woodchester observation deck.
