Voyageur Trail Association

For all of our friends on the west side of the Voyageur Trail Association, the weather forecast has brightened up and looks pretty nice for the weekend! If you are looking to get outside, consider joining one of our Club's weekend activities.
Northwestern Ontario Recreational Trails Association has an outing planned for Saturday in Shabaqua, email [email protected] for more information.
On Sunday, there will be a maintainance outing on the Deer Lake Mountain trail. The Casque Isles Hiking Trail will be having a short outing to Blind Creek and back from Schreiber Beach as well, contact [email protected] for more information.

Did you know that trail work happens all summer long? You may have even encountered sections of the Voyageur Trail that seem very grown in and in need of clearing. That work is typically done by volunteers, and for the most part the task is completed by loppers and smaller handsaws. With very minimal instruction, you too can be a trail hero. Are you willing to help? Head over to our website and fill out the volunteer form. Your information will be passed on to the appropriate club executive who will be in contact with you.

Friends of the Casque Isles staying the night at Twin Harbours. A clean up crew was behind them on Monday getting some brushing done.
Here is the map link to Twin Harbours, 3 km west of Schreiber Beach if you so inclined to plan a stay.
