Description

The beautiful little city of Fredericton has always welcomed walkers, but now that it's crisscrossed with abandoned railway lines turned into groomed trails, it's a paradise for the self-propelled. As well as being a guide to these paths, Trails of Fredericton conveys the essence of the city in historical vignettes, anecdotes, and photographs.
