Almaguin Community Trails
The Almaguin Community Trails are a community effort carried out entirely by volunteers. The vision is to provide the community with a center for cross-country skiing (both competition and leisure) as well as other forms of recreation including snowshoeing, cross-country running and hiking. In 2016, the trails network comprised of 2km of regulation cross-country ski trails and 3km of narrower ski trails and an additional 3km of snowshoe and hiking trails open for use by the public. The group was able to purchase a groomer, a container to house the groomer, a track setter, and grooming aids thanks to generous community donations. Since 2016, volunteers have continued to expand the trails to 7km regulation size ski trails. In 2021, volunteers built a boardwalk over wet spots on the trails with materials donated from the South River Planing Mill and Stella-Jones Lumber. Beautiful hand-made benches have been added to the trails dedicated to John and Jean McDermott and Tom Tekavic. The group continues to work with adjacent property owners to expand the trails network.
Your donations to the Almaguin Community Trails go towards the costs to maintain and expand the trails network.
