Tomifobia Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Gravel bike path that runs along the Tomifobia River. You can pretty much link this up with some of the best gravel roads in the area.

The Tomifobia River is beautiful and flows just under 11 kilometres through Quebec's Eastern Townships, through a largely protected Green Zone, before draining into Lake Massawippi and ultimately into the Saint Lawrence. Its Algonquian name reflects its history as a travel route for Abenaki peoples, and its valley was later settled by United Empire Loyalists, leading to the development of mill villages along its banks in the early 19th century. Today it's an important ecological corridor, home to trout, Atlantic salmon, the endangered wood turtle, bald eagles, and river otters, and is a popular spot for fishing, canoeing, and birdwatching.

Medicine Wheel

Highlight • Monument

The Roue de la médecine (Medicine Wheel) is a monument along the Tomifobia Nature Trail made up of a circle of four stones, each oriented to a cardinal point and engraved with one of four animals: a moose, a coyote, an eagle, and a bear, with a short text explaining each animal’s symbolic significance in Indigenous beliefs around Unity and Healing. Designed by Metis Algonquin-Anishnabe Elder Paul-Conrad Carignan, it’s dedicated to the spiritual and healing teachings of the Medicine Wheel and its four directions.

Tomifobia Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Tomifobia Nature Trail is a 19-kilometre rail trail in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec that follows the former route of a Canadian Pacific railway from Ayer’s Cliff to Stanstead. The gravel-surfaced trail is open to cyclists, hikers, and cross-country skiers year-round, and is privately owned and maintained by the Sentiers Massawippi nonprofit organization. The trail passes through a beautiful wildlife-rich landscape, so you’re likely to see plenty of herons, beavers, deer, and turtles along the way.
