Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance

In September, 1997, the Hastings/Quinte/Land O' Lakes Recreational Steering Committee was formed as a vehicle for bringing together people and groups who had an interest in developing a regional trails network. Representatives were from area municipalities, various trail groups, Chambers of Commerce, Conservation Authorities, and individuals.

This umbrella trails group was renamed the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) in the spring of 1998. The organization was incorporated in 1999 under the mandate provided to it by the Province of Ontario and various Municipal Corporations of Eastern Ontario.
