I spent some time on Google Maps today trying to chart the path of the old CPR tracks through Mississippi Mills. The map below shows (accurately, I hope) the route hikers and cyclists would take from downtown Pakenham to downtown Carleton Place. According to Google this route is 24 km long — a distance that could be managed on foot in one very brisk day, or preferably two days with a stop in Almonte between.
Website visitors to the Millstone can use the usual Google Maps interface to zoom and move through the route. Subscribers to the email version will need to view it on the website.
