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.
About the author

A retired history teacher, his second career was dedicated to building and promoting the city’s network of trails, which he explored thoroughly on foot, on skis, and on his bicycle. He served on the executive of the Fredericton Trails Coalition, of which he was a founding member.
