=> Available for FREE 7-day trial followed by subscription for $2.99/month or $29.99/year. <= (When you download the app, you'll be asked to set up your subscription but will NOT be charged until the free trial period is over.)
Find your way with the most up-to-date Bruce Trail information and helpful navigational tools.
Did you know the actual route of the Bruce Trail changes often? With the Bruce Trail App, you’ll have automatically updated Trail information, direct from the Bruce Trail Conservancy, right in the palm of your hand for stress-free adventures.
With over 1,300 km of trail along the Niagara Escarpment, there is so much to explore. The Bruce Trail App can help beginner hikers, seasoned explorers, and aspiring End-to-Enders alike!
The Bruce Trail App features the 42 official Bruce Trail maps from Queenston to Tobermory. Carry your map wherever, whenever, even with no cell service on the Trail. Easily download individual maps, or the full set, to have a map layer that works when the app is offline.
Plan custom routes and measure distances. Find details on parking and camping. Follow your location on the Bruce Trail in real time, track and save your hikes, and more.
