Talbot Trail

Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and just want a quiet place to get away from it all?  Come and travel the Talbot Trail (formerly #3 hwy) in Ontario, Canada.

The trail starts at Windsor, Ontario right across from Detroit. It then follows Lake Erie, at some places so close that you can actually see the shore, all the way to Niagra Falls. The present road follows the path of the first road built by Colonel Talbot. The Talbot Trail was completed by the end of 1820's and this corduroy road stretched nearly three hundred miles.
