For being a small Island, Prince Edward Island has a very active walking community! Because of this, it was natural to develop a long distance walking adventure along the perimeter of the Island for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.
The Island Walk was conceptualized by members of the non-for-profit organization Prince Edward Island Trails Inc. (Island Trails) and is an initiative of this volunteer-based organization.
These members have completed other long-distance walks such as the Camino de Santiago in Spain. The Island Walk is modelled after the Camino and other similar walks.
Bryson is a long-distance walking enthusiast, the Island Walk was his brainchild and he wrote a book on his experience on the Island Walk trail.
