    Maps, Tracks and Trails - Ontario Rail Trails and others

    As the title states, I'm looking for online resources to find some of these trails for spirited dual sporting. I'd probably turn back if the water crossings went over my wheel hubs. :P

    Ideally I'd love "Been there, done that, here's a link to my Garmin Tracks", but links to online maps would at least let me plot something on Mapsource with reasonable accuracy.

    Even Latitude and Longitude from your waypoints will help me find trail heads and road crossings.

    Would you care to lend a hand?

    I have been all over the Park-to-Park sites and they are still in the nineties thinking "We'll post a brochure online and let them come to us!" as opposed to providing a GPX file for geocachers, hikers and the like.

    Thanks.

    Oh, here's the Park-to-Park link (Seguin Trail) if anyone is interested:

    A bit on the pricey side. But have you looked at the Ontario Backroad GPS maps.

    They are in the process of updating it so it's not available at the moment.

    I'm running Garmin Canada Topo 4.0, and given lat and long can find my way with it.

    The Ontario Backroads looks nice. I'd like to read a few reviews before I shell out the cash.

    I downloaded some tracks off of ADVRider.

    I've my trakmasters on today, and my buddy (who slept in) is supposed to meet me here sporting some Pirelli MT-21's, so hopefully we'll hit some fun trails this morning. My tracklog is on.
