Here's an opportunity to take a break from the asphalt sidewalks and connect with nature. Pick up a copy of the self-guiding brochure and explore the forest, river edges and the open fens and marshes. This trail is a favourite for many local residents. Here's an account from Ethan Elliott Fenn: "In summer, my family and I bike along the trail with my dog and stop at the bench where there is a tree overlooking the water. My brother and I race up the tree and climb up as far as we can ‘til our mom tells us not to go any further. Mom and dad walked the loop when my mom was pregnant with me and we still do the hike today - it's a family tradition."
Did you know? The Commonwealth Walkway continues along the Vermilion Lakes Road. You can access it between stops 6 & 7 on the Fenland Trail.
