From the Rocky Mountains in the west to Newfoundland\u2019s eastern cliffs, Canada is a beautifully vast and unique country filled with endless corners to explore. So grab your hiking boots and walking poles, because Canada is home to some of the best long-distance hiking trails you absolutely must add to your bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranging in length and difficulty, here are some of the most renowned long-distance hiking trails in Canada and why you should consider tackling them.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Shortcode [travel-in] does not exist -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

Starting at the Niagara River and spanning more than 890 kilometres (553 miles) to Tobermory, this trail typically takes at least 30 days to complete. However, hikers are fere to walk at their own pace. End-to-end hikers need to be self-sufficient and experienced, meaning tackling the entire trail in one go is not recommended for beginners. Many hikers opt to tackle the trail in sections at a time, completing the entire thing in a matter of months or years. Regardless of how or when you complete the trail, be sure to send in your hiking logs and collect your <a href=\"https:\/\/brucetrail.org\/pages\/explore-the-trail\/end-to-ends\/badges\">End-to-End badge<\/a>, issued only to those committed hikers who successfully complete the entire Bruce Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Start\/End: <\/strong>Queenston to Tobermory, Ontario<\/li><li><strong>Length:<\/strong> 890 kilometres (553 miles)<\/li><li><strong>Difficulty<\/strong>: Hard<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"455\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BruceTrail-min.jpg\" alt=\"Black Creek, Limehouse, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-22093 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BruceTrail-min.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BruceTrail-min-434x290.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/455;\" \/><figcaption>The Bruce Trail is one of Canada&#8217;s best-known hiking trails | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eyeno\/865971612\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Ken Mist\/Flickr (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Ken Mist\/Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/long-distance-hiking-trails-around-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Long-Distance Hiking Trails Around the World, Ranked by Difficulty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. The Confederation Trail &#8211; Prince Edward Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1989, Prince Edward Island\u2019s railway was abandoned. Instead of leaving it to disappear, however, islanders saw the opportunity to create something people could enjoy &#8211; and the Confederation Trail was born. The entire rolled stone dust trail covers 435 kilometres (270 miles) of rolling hills, quaint villages, and beautiful seascapes. With gentle gradients and easy to follow paths, the Confederation Trail is a leisurely experience, perfect for hikers of any skill level. Because parts of the trail can become isolated, driving to accommodation from the trail is necessary, and while many people use the trail for hiking, it\u2019s also a perfect opportunity to bike as well. The longest stretch from tip-to-tip spans across the entire province, covering 273km from Tignish to Elmira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Start\/End: <\/strong>Tignish to Elmira, Prince Edward Island<\/li><li><strong>Length:<\/strong> 435 kilometres (270 miles)<\/li><li><strong>Difficulty<\/strong>: Easy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"543\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ConfederationTrail-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22094 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ConfederationTrail-min.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ConfederationTrail-min-434x347.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/543;\" \/><figcaption>Walk across an old railway in Prince Edward Island | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/70278809@N00\/931865568\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Buddha Dog\/Flickr (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Buddha Dog\/Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

This 75 kilometre (47 miles) trail, originally called the Dominion Lifesaving Trail, is an epic backpacking route that follows along the southwestern edge of Vancouver Island. Winding through rainforests, along beaches, through rivers, and up ladders, this infamous trail can take anywhere from five to seven days to successfully complete. Built in 1907 to rescue survivors of shipwrecks, this trail is very isolated, meaning hikers need to be self-sufficient, physically fit, and mentally capable of tackling the trail.
