The North Simcoe Railtrail is a recreational trail located in the Township of Springwater, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.
The trail follows the route of the former North Simcoe Railway, built in 1878, and abandoned in 1991 by CN.[1] All structures were removed upon closure of the line, however a replica station was built in recent years.[2][3]
The North Simcoe Railtrail is part of the Trans Canada Trail and the city council of Barrie is working to connect it together, as the Railtrail ends two streets from the beginning of the Trail.[4]
