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

Middle Battle River Spring Hike

by

Seventeen people came out on warm and sunny day to hike the Middle Battle River section towards Schnee Hill. This was first challenging hike of the year because at 11 km, it’s a little longer than usual, and because it has ups and downs…ending with lunch at the top of Schnee Hill.

The terrain is varied, from forests to pastures. The flowers we saw include wild red currant, wild blue clematis, coltsfoot, early blue violet, golden bean, fairy bells, prairie smoke, and saskatoon blossoms. We also saw a morel mushroom.

Wild Blue Clematis (Clematis occidentalis)

Thanks to Lee for scouting and leading the hike and to the landowners for their continuing permission. Check out the rest of the photos on Flickr.

Cloverlawn Hike

by

Twenty people came out to hike the Cloverlawn section of the trail. This section has long been a favourite for its unique features and amazing views. The hike on this day was made extra special because the landowner hosted us for lunch!

Here are just a few of the photos. You’ll find many more on our Flickr album.

Thank you Mrs. Fisher for the great food and splendid hospitality. We had a wonderful time!

Thanks also to Martha M. for scouting and leading the hike, and to all the landowners for their continuing permission.
