K&P Trailhead Opens in Verona

Jun 29, 2022

K&P app unveiled

The Verona trailhead improvements have been completed, and the facility that provides a convenient parking location for trail users, in particular those riding ATV’s, is fully open for use.

The Verona Trailhead improvements will increase safety and accessibility on the trail. Included in the project are improved road crossings, additional trail edge protection, and new trail rest areas with benches,” said a release from Frontenac County, operator of the K&P Trail.

The project was funded through grant from the federal government under the

Community, Culture, and Recreation stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).

The location of the trailhead is important to trail users, because it is at the exact location where motorised vehicles are permitted going north, and not permitted going south.

At the grand opening event on Tuesday, June 28, South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal pointed out that the township provided the location, which had been a service station, to Frontenac County for free.

“The County got a really good deal from the Township on this chunk of property. But it’s looking great!” he said.

Richard Allen, the Director of Economic Development for Frontenac County, said the trail has had “some very heavy use since 2020, and this will make it easier for users to gain access. I would like to thank Verona Community Association for donating the flag and the trail kiosk.”

The K&P Trail, once complete, will connect downtown Kingston to the Town of Renfrew where it intersects with the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail.

The Frontenac K&P Trail connects several villages and hamlets across three townships in Frontenac County. The trail intersects with the Tay-Havelock Trail in Central Frontenac and the Cataraqui Trail in South Frontenac. Together the three trails form the Trans Canada Trail route through Frontenac County.

New K&P App

The Frontenac County Economic Development Team has released The Frontenac App. This interactive Frontenac APP is intended to promote businesses along the Frontenac K&P Trail and across Frontenac County.

The app features county businesses such as the Sydenham Country Café, Nicole’s Gifts, and the Cardinal Café & Shop. App users are rewarded for exploring the trail. By setting up an account, anyone can collect points and redeem rewards at participating businesses.

The Frontenac App features an interactive map for planning trips and exploring Front4enac County. Users just “Explore” and can browse Frontenac businesses. It includes a category search function as well.

“The Frontenac App is an important step in the County’s plan to encourage collaboration in our community,” said Richard Allen “It is a great chance to explore the trails, get to know local businesses, and give back to Frontenac County.”

The Frontenac App is available for download on the App Store or Google Play for any type of device.
