This Guidebook describes the 300 km. Rideau Trail, a major hiking trail in Eastern Ontario which runs from Kingston to Ottawa and passes through several provincial parks and conservation areas. The guide format incorporates data about the geology, history, forestry and botany of the zones through which the trail passes, together with the trail description itself. The guide provides the hiker both directions and a detailed description of the Trail as it is traversed. It contains 109 pages of descriptive text and twenty 1:50,000 scale pull-out full-colour route maps and an index map in a 6-ring binder. The maps provide detailed information for the hiker including point-to-point as well as cumulative distances along the trail. Roads that are used to access the trail, towns, lakes and other landmarks are identified on the map sheets.

The Guidebook may be ordered by mail from the RTA in Kingston and from some bookstores.
