Trail Segments with Exclusion Zones, Organized East to West

(exclusion zone  = closed to horses)

Factors affecting choices for exclusion zone borders:
- Residential or urban areas where manure at the side of the trail is likely to be less well-tolerated than in rural areas
- Parks/manicured waterway landscapes within village settings at dead ends of the trail i.e. no Point A to Point B travel-through value
- Areas with predictably high numbers of other users, especially where combined with other challenges e.g. multiple bridges
- Areas with high density of high-traffic road crossings and low rural scenic value

1. Elmira to Five Houses Segment (Morell-St Peter's Exclusion Zone)

The horse-friendly segment's trailhead would be in Elmira, at the train station, which has a big parking lot. The end point for the segment would be Hwy 2. 

Maps: Exclusion starting from Hwy 2 at St Peter's to Coffin Rd, just west of Morell.
