Seguin Falls, Dufferin Bridge, Spence, and Magnetawan, are only some of the original settlements along the southern portion of the trail, most of which are camouflaged and overgrown by nature and time. Magnetawan, mid-way along the trail, is the only thriving village on the 'ghost road' today, and offers the visitor food, fuel, lodging, historical points of interest, water sports, hiking trails, picnic sites, and leisure activities.
