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

Trail Clearing Begins with Battle A62 East

by
May 2, the first day of the new maintenance season: weather was perfect, campground end of trail, not so much.

Equipment and materials were hauled in from A63 to the base of RBT hill, overcoming steep inclines, wet, boggy areas, and deadfall blocks. While 4 of the crew added another 30′ to the bog boardwalk, and shingled the bridge, the other 3 scouted through, chainsawing, clipping, and signing; a pretty little section of old trail running through a copse of trees was reinstated. The bogwalk could benefit by extending it another 50-75′.

Walking St. Albert trails along the Sturgeon River

by

Sixteen of us, including two new WTA members from Meetup, enjoyed a lovely day walking the paved trails along both sides of the Sturgeon River. It was a pleasure not to have to worry about snow, ice or mud underfoot. The city of St. Albert has allowed public trails with benches and some natural areas alongside the river to coexist with tasteful development nearby. Here are a few pictures from along our route.
