East Garafraxa is located to the west of Orangeville and to the east of Fergus. It is a peaceful, quiet, and rural, it has a large sense of community, and small quaint hamlets like Marsville and Orton. Much of our regions produce comes from this township and you won’t forgive yourself if you leave without sampling some farm-fresh veggies or meat. East Garafraxa is also home to some wonderful artists so keep your eyes peeled for the studios in the township. If you’re looking for recreation, East Garafraxa is the place
for you. The famous 47 km long Elora-Cataract trailway runs right
through the township. The trailway is perfect for cycling and hiking,
and in some sections horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country
skiing are also permitted. The Elora-Cataract trailway also boosts
having a flat, fairly hard surface and therefore children and those
in wheelchairs can also enjoy the beauty of the township. The highlight of this area is the 47 km section of the former Canadian
Pacific Railway which is now used as a trailway for hikers, bikers,
and most of all snowmobilers. The trail is kept in excellent condition
and is a favorite for local and visiting sledders. Pick one of the
twenty or so access points to get onto the trailway. A favorite
point of access is on the corner of 15th sideroad and 3rd line Amaranth
near the hamlet of Crombie. Step back into the age of rail travel
at Crombie’s train-flagging station. The station was originally
located at the corner of 3rd line and 20th sideroad Amaranth, and
is now located within the Dufferin County Museum and Archives. I look forward to seeing you in East Garafraxa!
