About the Waterfront Trail
The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail is a 3,600 km (2,200 mi) signed route of roads and trails in Ontario, Canada, running between Sault Ste. Marie and the Quebec border following the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. The trail connects over 150 communities and First Nations. It is a legacy project of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, and its community partners. Through Toronto, the trail is called the Martin Goodman Trail. The Waterfront Trail is also used by commuters in parts of Southern Ontario.

About this route in 3D
Open the designer and the real Waterfront Trail becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
How it works
- Open the Waterfront Trail in our 3D designer. Real terrain, real elevation, in your browser.
- Make it yours: use your own route, dates, labels, size and shape.
- Download the printable STL file, or order a finished 3D print. We ship to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Common questions
- Is this the real terrain of the Waterfront Trail?
- Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Waterfront Trail appears at true relative height.
- Can I use my own route instead?
- Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Waterfront Trail is just the starting point.
- How do I get the finished model?
- Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
- Can I download the Waterfront Trail as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
- Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Waterfront Trail costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
