The K&P Trail crossing County Road 16 in Lavant Station.

The K&P Trail is a recreational trail that runs along the old Kingston and Pembroke Railway (K&P) bed. The K&P was abandoned by its owner, Canadian Pacific Railway, between 1962 and 1986.

The trail starts in Kingston just east of Sydenham Road and Highway 401, at Little Cataraqui Creek. It runs 23 kilometres north, through farmland and wooded areas to Harrowsmith. Sections of the trail are shared with the Rideau Trail and the Cataraqui Trail.

The railbed is owned by the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac. The County is working to develop the trail between Harrowsmith, through South Frontenac and Central Frontenac Townships, eventually up to Sharbot Lake.
