How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Private land. CPCAD includes conservation land held privately; the page counts it and leaves the names out.
  • Beaches. The count includes unnamed stretches mapped as beach, which can make a lakeside town’s figure large.
  • National and provincial parks. The nearest national park and the nearest provincial park are always shown when they are within 100 km.
  • Protected land. The 10 km band starts at the town’s outline, not its centre, so a large municipality reaches further than a small town.
  • Walking routes. Routes are what OpenStreetMap’s volunteers have mapped as named walking or hiking routes; many good trails aren’t mapped that way.
