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 theĀ landowner rights and the trail user responsibilities.
  2. Check the trail conditions

Crews Working the Trail Begins

Yesterday we had three groups working three different areas for an ambitious start for the season. We went in from the middle of Saunders Lake to the south end of Hwy 623 where the hike will begin on Saturday. Some stiles were fixed, a few logs chained and clipping a signing updated.

Others went from A38 RR235 climbing up to Stan’s bench with gorgeous valley views, chaining, weed eating, clipping, signing and fixing stiles through to A39 at Twp 484. At 484 another crew went in 2km and built a boardwalk over a muddy trickle of the Blackmud creek and cleared to the beginning of Coal Lake.

Well done people!

Important new changes in our weekend guided hikes

Our summer hiking season is just one week away. We made a number of changes that you need to know if you plan to join our weekly guided hikes.

#1 Where to find the one-page hike schedule

This spring, we discontinued the membership newsletter and replaced it with a new one just for landowners. But we still have our one-page hike schedule. Download the latest schedule.

#2 Car Pool

We do not provide organized car pooling. However, participants are encouraged to make their own car pooling arrangements.
