Landowner Rights & Trail User Responsibilities

The Waskahegan Trail is a unique resource that exists only because of the generosity of landowners. Before you set foot on the trail:

  1. Know the landowner rights and the trail user responsibilities.
  2. Check the trail conditions

Battle River West from Gwynne Hike

by

Last week nine people came out to hike the West Battle River section from the highway south of Gwynne to the ski hill. This section has some of the grandest views on the Waskahegan Trail.

This hike was postponed from earlier this summer due to the overwhelmingly soggy conditions. And that’s why no one was surprised by the huge population of mosquitoes. Mosquito netting worn over the hat is the way to dress these days.

Thanks to Helen for scouting and leading the hike and to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can see all the photos on Flickr.

Where we’re going next.

Wood Bison Trail Hike

by

Thirteen people came out to hike the Wood Bison trail. This trail is a loop on the land of the Elk Isand National Park on the south side of the Yellowhead Highway. The highway neatly divides the park, separating the Wood Bison herd from the Plains Bison herd on the north side.

Due to the rains and storms this summer, there were a lot of downed trees and lots of mud.

We finished the hike in 5 and a half hours. It was a fund adventure. Thanks to everyone who came out and made such an enjoyable day. You can see all the photos on Flickr.
