The K&P Trail offers both an off-road and on-road route for recreation and active transportation. It is open year round, offering a range of scenic experiences through natural open landscapes, rock cuts, wetlands and historic Kingston. The abandoned rail bed was converted into a multi-use trail for walkers and non-motorized vehicles.

The K&P Trail within the City of Kingston is 22 km long and made up of 2 distinct sections:

• The urban K&P Trail pathway section is 7 km long. This pathway is paved and starts at Confederation Park and connects north to the Binnington Court access point.
• The rural section of the K&P Trail in Kingston, is 15 km long. This trail is gravel and runs from Binnington Court northwest to Orser Rd.
• North of Orser Road, the trail extends into Frontenac County and will ultimately connect to Sharbot Lake 58 km beyond the Kingston boundary. Some sections of the trail in Frontenac are still under development.
