The Great Trail, an extensive network of paths that spans the country from north to south and east to west, is set to be complete by the end of 2017, the year of Canada's 150th anniversary. The project has been in progress since 1992, and will connect a whopping 14,828 miles of hiking and biking paths, making it the world's longest recreational trail.
To put that into perspective, the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs the full length of the US' west coast, is just 2,650 miles long.
