Devon Ravine Trails – new meeting location
January 4 @ 10:15 am – 3:00 pm MST
Note – due to the accumulation of snow, we will now meet at the Public Parking Lot on Saskatchewan Ave, to avoid driving down/up the steep road to the Lions Campground.
This is a nice 10km hike through Devon & every time we seem to do a hike there the trail has been improved. The pictures from January 7th, 2024.
The route will be the same as past years, but we will now be starting at the river trails (the junction of Rideau St. /River Dr, <200m from the parking lot), heading to the Lion’s Campground, through the ravine & then the Devon city trails back to the parking lot.
We will still be having lunch at the arena (it will be open for minor hockey) but with the new starting point we would be getting there ~50 minutes later, so we’ll likely take a 10-15 minute break at the gazebo in the Lion’s Campground for some tea & a quick snack.
The Devon’s “Walking Trails Marketplace” is ~100m from the parking lot & is open until 5:00 on Sunday, so those who want to stop in can do so after the hike.
We will start from the parking lot just outside the Lion’s Campground, going through the ravine, city trails & taking a few city streets (mostly Erie St. South) to the arena. The arena will be open for minor hockey, so we’ll likely have lunch in the lobby or the stands.
After lunch we will take the city trail by the arena, continuing through town, reconnecting on Erie St. to pickup the river trails again at the junction of Rideau St. /River Dr. back to the Lion’s Campground.
We will now meet at the Public Parking Lot on Saskatchewan Ave at 10:15 a.m. and the hike will leave at 10:30.We will meet at the trailhead, the parking area just outside of the Lion’s Campground at 10:15 a.m. and the hike will leave at 10:30.
Note: the ravine trails can be slick so having trax/spikes is highly recommended.
