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 A61 to A60+ Trail Cleared

The nine of us tackled the A61 to A60+ section of the Battle River Trail. The section between A61 to A60 was a piece of work with a lot of downed trees.

The section from A60 to the “site of the old house” was relatively easy by comparison.

At the margins of the forest we found bee balm (Monarda) and shooting stars (Dodecatheon)  and so we were careful to work our way around them. Alas! no pictures…had to keep moving. We will look for these flowers on the hike on July 22.

But sometimes we do have time for pictures. Here are two of our volunteers. Visit our Flickr album for more.

Wanisan A98 to Blackfoot

Ten people came out on July 8 for the hike in Blackfoot Recreational Area.

We started from A98 in the Wanisan Lake area. After a short walk between picturesque beaver ponds, we arrived at the stile over the high ungulate fence. Of course, people “in the know” walk down further and use the elegant gate to get in.

Lunch was at the Meadow Shelter.
