South River Area Trails

 

Forgotten Trails AssociationThe Forgotten Trails Association creates, maintains and promotes safe and ecologically sustainable trails of natural or historical significance in the South River area.  These four-season back-country trails are managed for the purpose of non-motorized recreational trail activities.  The trails are managed by volunteers and promoted through local resource-based ecotourism initiatives. 

The Association produces a trail map that highlights historical points in the area and provides additional information on the trails.  A copy can be obtained by contacting Discovery Routes.  Otherwise, a complete description of each trail is available on this website.
