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

Ministik Country Hike

Lake Oliver

This year we had a unique opportunity to escape to the real country in just before Christmas. Fresh air, clean snow, and no noise except from the chickadees, woodpeckers, and human voices of your fellow hikers.

The Vogels led us on private and public trails, with a lunch stop at their private cabin, where we were treated to a roaring fire.

CBC Radio-Canada visits Trail Maintenance

Des bénévoles nettoient le sentier de randonnée Waskahegan

(Volunteers maintain the Waskahegan trail)

CBC Radio-Canada (the Edmonton station) had been working on a TV series about trails in Western Canada. We missed the cut-off to be in the TV series; however–even better–they came out with the maintenance crew on the Pipestone trail and filmed for about an hour. On the Radio-Canada web site you will see a 2 min video that includes an awesome interview with Yvette Stack (thanks, Yvette & team).

Check out the video – L’entretien du sentier Waskahegan trail (Maintenance of the Waskahegan trail).
