The Ontario Trail Network (OTN) contains geospatial networks of trails in urban, rural and wilderness settings that are managed by a named organization for transportation, recreation, active living or tourism purposes. The OTN relies on data sharing partnerships with local trail organizations and municipal, provincial and federal governments for ongoing updates and maintenance. Trails in the OTN must be: * associated with a named trail organization * intended for free or paid public access * marked and maintained The OTN collection includes two data classes: * Ontario Trail Network segment derived * Ontario Trail Network access points __Ontario Trail Network segment derived__ This spatial dataset represents segments of trails in the OTN. Trail segments define a linear corridor through the natural or urban environment. The corridors may be single segments or form a looping system. The data includes characteristics about each trail, such as: * trail name * trail association * permitted use * description * length Examples of trail types include: * hiking or walking * cycling * cross-country skiing and snowshoeing * paddling and portage * equestrian * snowmobiling, all terrain vehicle and off-road motorcycle * barrier free (wheelchair accessible) * ice skating Some trail networks have official access points. You can find the location of these points in the OTN_ACCESS_POINT spatial dataset. __Ontario Trail Network access points__ This spatial dataset represents the main access points to a trail system that is part of the OTN. This layer should be used together with OTN Segment Derived. Access points can be spatially related to a trail network based on relative location to a trail segment. Not all trail networks will have official access points.

Data covers natural, rural and urban lands in Ecoregions 6E and 7E, current to 2000-2002. This land use inventory supports key provincial initiatives including: * source water protection * natural spaces * biodiversity conservation * state of resources reporting

Wetlands are lands that are seasonally or permanently flooded by shallow water. They also include lands where the water table is close to the surface. The wetland polygons are managed independently from other hydro data classes and may overlap water bodies or other hydro data. Not all wetlands have been identified and mapped. Active maintenance is ongoing province wide. The currency and accuracy of the spatial representation is variable and requires on-the-ground verification.

The fish activity area data represents the consolidation of two fish data classes collected by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The data estimates locations used by fish for activities such as spawning and nursing young. Locations are represented as polygons. They may be related to a specific species or described more generally. There are additional sensitive features related to provincially tracked species and species at risk that are not available as part of the open data package. Sensitive features are subject to licensing and approvals and may be requested by contacting geospatial@ontario.ca.

Conservation Authority Administrative Areas are lands under the jurisdiction of a Conservation Authority.

Minor urban center is one of the 7 Niagara Escarpment Plan land use designations. This designation includes rural settlements, villages and hamlets. The boundaries of minor urban centres are defined by the municipality in an approved official plan and/or secondary plan. [More information](http://www.escarpment.org)

Point locations of water and weather monitoring stations used by the [Surface Water Monitoring Centre](http://www.ontario.ca/page/surface-water-monitoring-centre) to assess flood and drought conditions across Ontario. Monitoring station types include: * streamflow gauge stations * Environment and Climate Change Canada climate stations * Ministry of Transportation road weather stations * Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) fire weather stations * MNR snow network stations (wildlife) * MNR snow survey stations (weather) * Ontario Power Generation snow survey stations (weather)

Tourism use polygons of lakes and areas of trails

Determines the location of Coal Titles within the Province of British Columbia. It is established under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Grid Regulation. It is defined by a set of UTM coordinates which approximate NAD 27 latitude and longitude positions. Units are the finest level of the Coal Grid. They are defined by UTM coordinates for their corners and the mid points of the four sides. A unit is the base building block for creating the Coal Grid. In a block there are 100 units, 10 rows by 10 columns, and numbered consecutively, starting in the southeast corner. The units are numbered 1 to 10, 11 - 20 etc. always reading from right to left.

This data set includes information on sampling locations, water chemistry and chlorophyll collected at 18 locations in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River and 4 locations in Lake Simcoe.
