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

Kopp Lake Hike

by

Eleven hikers came out on a breezy morning to hike the trail along Kopp Lake. It’s an easy trail full of park-like landscapes interleaved with walks through woods.

The trees are still a week away from showing their leaves. That’s why it’s so easy right now to spot a nest in a bush…and view a moss that looks furry at a distance because it’s covered in fine sprouts.

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

South Saunders Lake Hike

by

Thirteen people came out to hike the south end of Saunders Lake. It was windy at the start, but the strong wind dwindled to nothing as we left Rollyview Road and headed north along the edge.

Much of the lake was still covered in ice. But there was enough open water to appease the geese and ducks in this early season. Other animals out on this day were two coyotes wandering on the frozen lake and a northern flicker calling from the bushes.

Thanks to Stella for scouting and leading the hike and for trail maintenance for the work they put into the trail last fall. Thank you also to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can find more photos on Flickr.
