Despite the snow, trails still business during winter months
Join the BVRTA on the trails!
Bayfield River Valley Trail Asso-
ciation now has several newly
trained hiking leaders, eager to
get out on the trails. We are
offering at least two regular hik-
ing
iking events for each of the sum-
mer months, the second Sun-
day afternoon and the fourth
Thursday morning, to be
accompanied by three leaders
for each hike. Hikes will be of
varying degrees of length and
difficulty. Some of the hikes will
have an educational compo-
nent to help acquaint you with
our history and our natural
environment For maps of trails,
refer to Ontario's West Coast
hiking guide. Generally dogs on
leash are welcome but it is
always best to check with your
hike leader. All hikers are
reminded to wear proper shoes
and bring water. If you have
questions or would like to make
suggestions, call one of the hike
leaders or contact program
coordinator, thyra.knudsen@
