Maps and other resources for The Island Walk, Prince Edward Island.
The Island Walk is a 700 km walking trail that loops around PEI. It takes approximately 32 days to complete if you walk 20-25 kilometres per day. However, not all walkers have to plan to walk 20-25 kms per day. There are many opportunities to complete the Island Walk in sections and spend more time exploring certain areas that appeal to you.
In 2024, three shorter "coastal walks" were introduced: the North Cape Coastal Walk, the Central PEI Coastal Walk, and the Points East Coastal Walk. These walks primarily follow the route of the main Island Walk, but are self-contained regional walks starting and ending at the same place.
This repository contains GIS data, maps, and other resources related to the walk; for more general information, consult The Island Walk website.

Updated the route through Stratford to follow the sidewalk from the main intersection, through Bunbury to the Duffy Road (where the sidewalk ends).
Updated the route through Stratford to take the Hillsborough Bridge Active Transportation Path (rather than the Bunbury Road onramp to the bridge).
Added the route maps for the three coastal walks.
The route of The Island Walk to the east of Summerside has been altered between Bedeque and Summerside: at the intersection of Route 1A and the MacMurdo Road, the route previously continued along Route 1A to Read's Corner; the route now turns right onto MacMurdo Road to the Blue Shank Road, takes a short jog left and then right onto the Wilmot Valley Road, where it joins the trail route coming from Summerside.
In the images below, the previous route is shown in blue and the update route is showing in red.
