Uxbridge #1

Uxbridge, just an hour from Toronto, is best known for its protected greenspace of forests, meadows, ponds, streams, and wetlands.
 
First Nations, including the Mississauga, Anishinaabek, Algonquin, Iroquois and Ojibway, dating back over 10,000 years, inhabited the area as hunter gatherers
 
Quakers from the Catawissa area of Pennsylvania started arriving in 1806 and began to settle in the area, constructing a meeting house in 1820.
 
In 2009 Uxbridge received federal designation by Industry Canada as the "Trail Capital of Canada".
 
There are over 220 kilometers of managed trails on over 8,000 acres (32 km2) of protected greenspace.
 
Many of these trails, like the one featured in this design, are enjoyed by mountain bikers who come from far and wide to experience the natural beauty of the area.
