Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail
The 10.5 km G.A.R.T. on the abandoned Canadian Pacific Railway line, offers cyclists an accessible and safe off-road experience. While on the trail, cyclists will enjoy wildlife, trees, wildflowers and views of the Maitland River as well as post-glacial kettle lakes.
Access to the west end of the G.A.R.T. can be made from the historic CP Railway Station or on the Tiger Dunlop Trail (access on North Harbour Road in Goderich) which crosses the spectacular Menesetung Bridge.

Good Morning Goderich! Filmed at the Menesetung Bridge. June 28 2010
From:
The Menesetung Bridge was originally built as a C.P.R. railway bridge in 1907. At the time of its construction, it was the longest railway bridge in Ontario. Regular passenger and freight service continued on the line up to the 1970's. The last steam locomotive passed over the bridge in 1977, and the last diesel locomotive in 1988. The rail line between Guelph and Goderich was abandoned in 1989 and portions were converted to walking trails in 1992. The conversion of the bridge to a pedestrian walking bridge was made possible through the sale of planks and railings to local and area residents, thus many of the planks and railings are engraved with the names of these generous individuals and families. The Menesetung Bridge connects the Town of Goderich with the Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail, the Maitland Trail and the Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail. The Bridge spans the Maitland River and offers and incredible view of the river, the Port of Goderich and Lake Huron.

Originally formed to acquire and develop Upper Canada's undeveloped clergy reserves and crown reserves which, in 1827, the Company acquired for £341,000 ($693,000) from the Province of Upper Canada.Founded by John Galt who became its first Superintendent, the company was successful in populating the area called the Huron Tract an achievement later called the most important single attempt at settlement in Canadian history.It is unrelated to the modern Canadian charity of the same name founded in 2006, which assists former Canadian military members and their spouses regain civilian employment after service in the Canadian Armed Forces.

SUMMARY
=======
The Province of Upper Canada (French: province du Haut-Canada) was a part of British Canada established in 1791 by the Kingdom of Great Britain, to govern the central third of the lands in British North America. It was the primary destination of Loyalist refugees and settlers from the United States after the American Revolution. The new province remained, for the next fifty years of growth and settlement, the colonial government of the territory.
Upper Canada existed from its establishment on 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 when it was united with adjacent Lower Canada to form the Province of Canada. The upper prefix in the name reflects its geographic position along the Great Lakes, mostly above the headwaters of the Saint Lawrence River, contrasted with Lower Canada (present-day Quebec) to the northeast.
Upper Canada included all of modern-day Southern Ontario and all those areas of Northern Ontario in the Pays d'en Haut which had formed part of New France, essentially the watersheds of the Ottawa River or Lakes Huron and Superior, excluding any lands within the watershed of Hudson Bay.
