Riding the White Line

A long and winding road with a long and winding history. Situated on Big & Little Colington Islands, this road probably began as an Indian footpath possibly following the curve of the dunes. Starting in the mid-1600's colonists would settle here.

There were once two communities supported by commercial fishing, Colington and Eagleton, on the southwest and northwest shores respectively. Likely these communities help carve the path that later became Colington Road.



Today the communities along Colington Road are as varied as the twists in the road. But one thing remains clear to almost if not all, a non-vehicular path is needed for the safety of everyone that uses the road.




Traveled by private vehicles, commercial trucks and vans, pedestrians and bikers that all have no other way to enter and exit the islands, Colington Road needs help.

It's a huge undertaking with many problems to overcome but every problem has a solution, we just need to find it.

Write, call, email any and all, talk it up positively.
