01 — Abstract

Orangeville sits at the headwaters of the Credit River on the till uplands above the Niagara Escarpment, the Dufferin County seat with Mono on its north and east boundary and Caledon on its south. Island Lake Conservation Area covers 820 acres on the town's northeast corner, and the 8-kilometre Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail loops the perimeter on a crushed-stone-and-decking surface with rest areas under 800 metres apart.

The Town of Orangeville maintains over 20 kilometres of multi-use trails connecting more than 30 parks across the town and out to Island Lake, with a published Cycling Trails Map. Downtown Broadway carries the Art Walk of Tree Sculptures — over 35 carved pieces displayed throughout the core.

The Credit Valley Trail begins here as a planned 100-kilometre pathway from these headwaters down through Caledon and Mississauga to Lake Ontario at Port Credit. The town is roughly an hour from the GTA on the major highway corridor north through Caledon.
