The 2025 season is here!
And so is the new Heritage Silver trail guide and map. We’ve updated both to reflect the addition of the John Calder Memorial Trail and also illustrated the booklet with some new photos.
Hard copies of both the guide and/or the map are available at several locations – you’ll find them at
- The Silver Cafe – 3 Prospect Ave
- White Mountain Publications – Cobalt’s bookstore at 8 Prospect Ave
- Laura’s Art Shoppe – 38 Silver Street
- The Cobalt Mining Museum – 24 Silver Street
- The Town of Cobalt – 18 Silver Street
- The Cobalt Public Library – 30 Lang Street
- Coleman Township Office – Marsh Bay Road, just off HWY 11
- Town of Latchford Office – 10 Main Street, Latchford on HWY 11 at the visitor’s centre
- Temiskaming Shores & Area Chamber of Commerce – on HWY 65 at HWY 11 in New Liskeard, next door to McDonalds

All Aboard!
The trail provides access to important sites where you can learn about the exciting history of the silver rush in Cobalt more than one hundred years ago. Each site is enhanced by signs and illustrations.
This trail booklet is designed to provide the visitor with a background of historical and technical data to enable an understanding of the history of the Cobalt Camp and the significance of the various sites along the trail.
The Cobalt Historical Society is grateful for the ongoing generous support of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. They understand the importance of mining heritage and grant us permission to enter on their property. It is important that you refrain from stepping off the paths or breaching the fence barriers. Please take out what you bring in with you or use the trash bins where available.
Thank you for the amazing work to put this guide together!
Canada Post permitting, I look forward to being a society member soon! – as well as getting there for a tour.
Kind regards – Katherine
Thank you so much for your kind remarks!
So the Glory Hole is open again? I see it’s listed on the map, but when I was there a few years ago Ontario Northland had blocked the parking and viewpoint.
Hi Kevin – you ask a good question – both the Townsite/Glory Hole sites at the south end of Cobalt and the Right of Way at the north are still barricaded by ONR. These monuments are still on the trail, however, and visitors can view from a safe distance.
