Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail


There is excellent biking along an abandoned rail trail which hugs the Grand River from Cambridge to Paris.
Paleo-Indians hunted mastadon in this area 11,000 years ago. The first European to come down the river was La Salle in 1669 who had journeyed from Montreal with a half dozen canoes which they portaged from the Hamilton area overland 40km or so to the Grand. After wintering at the mouth they went on to explore the Ohio river in the nice states.
