The trail starts in the south at the historic fish weirs that were built by the Mnjikaning First Nation people. “Mnjikaning” is an Ojibway word meaning “the place of the fish fence”. The trail follows the abandoned CN rail line through pastoral countryside, crossing the Rama Road/Monck Road intersection, along Monck Road to the trail sign and extending to Mara-Rama Boundary Road. If you are coming from the City of Orillia, stop off at Casino Rama for some fun and excitement. If you are already staying at the Casino, be sure to take the trail in to Orillia and explore the beautiful downtown.
