The Tiny Trail is a 23 kilometre recreation multi-use trail.  It was one of Ontario’s first rail-to-trail conversions when it was purchased in 1978.  It is registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail System.  Its southern terminus is at the Tiny/Flos (Springwater) line 1.5 kilometres north of Elmvale.  It runs roughly west parallel to County Rd 6 and then angles northeastward to its north terminus at the southern town limits of Penetanguishene.  The trail passes over prime agricultural land and into areas of hardwood forest.  The Wye River and Copeland Creek meander across the trails.  There are 14 historic bridges on the Tiny Trail, 11 of which are located between its northern entrance and Concession 12 E.  This section of the trail is paved.  The remaining trail is surfaced with crushed stone.

The Tiny Trail is a shared use trail and permits a wide variety of uses.  Snowmobiles are permitted by permit only.  ATVs, Dirt bikes and street vehicles are not permitted on the trail.
