The Trans Canada Trail, spanning 48 miles (76 km) through the Municipality of Lorne, connects the communities of Altamont, Saint-Léon, Somerset, Swan Lake, and Bruxelles with thousands of others across Canada.

This region, originally known as the Pembina Mountain, referred to the western shore of the ancient Lake Agassiz. The name Pembina comes from two Indigenous words meaning “summer berry.” Over time, the forces of water carved deep ravines into the valley, giving early explorers the impression of a mountainous landscape.

We invite both visitors and residents to take the time to connect with the wildlife, nature, and beautiful landscapes throughout the Municipality of Lorne.
