Township of East Garafraxa

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.
Milton’s poem “Paradise Lost” and the words “immortal Amaranth”. I do not think that Milton could be speaking of our Amaranth, because ours is a paradise found. Meadows, rivers, wetlands, wildlife, fields, farms, and forests cover this township to create a myriad of geographical features to explore.

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!

Warmest Regards,
