First, it coordinates and promotes self-propelled activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and other outdoor activities.  Hikes and other activities are led by certified and experienced hike leaders.  Hikes are suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced hikers.
Second, it stewards over 40 trails that span over 450 km. The main trail, known as the Rideau Trail, is roughly 325 km in length, and goes between downtown Kingston and downtown Ottawa.
Our Mission
To promote, encourage and conduct responsible hiking and similar self-propelled activities while stewarding the Rideau Trail network.
<strong>Our Vision</strong>
A community of engaged hikers; a legacy of enduring trails.

The RTA has three Clubs that conduct led hikes and other activities throughout the year.  Clubs are located in Kingston, Central (Perth area), and Ottawa.

Our Club is part of a global network that endeavors to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. We are a non-political and non-religious group that strives to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. We value the uniqueness of every individual regardless of age, size, ability, race, ethnicity, faith, socio-economic status, immigration status, sexual orientation, and gender expression and identity. CK Rotary has a long history of responding to the needs of our community by awarding grants and providing volunteer service to other charitable organizations in the greater Kingston area that share our goals and core values. We welcome individuals who are looking for opportunities to improve our community today while investing in a better future for the generation of tomorrow. We believe that caring for and serving others is the best way to live because it not only changes the lives of others, but also changes our own.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead)
