I just made a post in the Roads thread about the new Manitou bridge; the trail around it is also of note.
A longstanding trail comes up the creek valley from Wabanaki Drive; this can be followed all the way through Homer Watson Park to the trails along the Grand River.
While previously it dead-ended at Manitou, it now forks...
...and the new branch passes under the new bridge.
Alas, this is short-lived, and it only curves around to access the other side of Manitou for now.
I understand the Region has a plan for the trail to be extended further along the creek to Battler Drive, and from there on to Block Line; this would connect the Trans-Canada Trail through this part of Kitchener. Hopefully this useful connector gets built soon.
