The Hastings Heritage Trail

The Hastings Heritage Trail is a four-seasons, multi-use trail that follows an old railway line linking Hastings County. Vital to the early economy of the region, the railway carried iron ore, timber and farm produce, as well as passengers and the mail. Now the tracks are gone, leaving a recreational corridor stretching from Glen Ross to Lake St. Peter. www.bancroftdistrict.com/Tourism/tours_hht.php

Fishing and Hunting

There are over 800 lakes varying in size from large bodies such as Baptiste and Paudash to peaceful ponds. Hundreds of miles of streams and rivers also exist. The lakes, rivers and streams support a wide variety of game fish, including trout, bass, musky and walleye. www.bancroftdistrict.com/Tourism/fish_hunt.php
