Descriptions:

These trails go through a number of different natural habitats common to the Near North region of Ontario including wetlands, swamp, marshes, fens, and a mix of hardwood and conifers.  The trails are classically groomed and track set and are relatively well-signed via posted maps and colour-coded trail markers.  The new chalet is open and heated using a wood stove, with hot chocolate and tea available.  There is a bulletin board available where trail conditions and other announcements are posted, along with a thermometer and trail maps.    

For membership fees and day-use rates, and for additional trail information, please visit their website at www.wasiski.com.

Directions: 

From the HWY 11/17 junction near Seymour Street, head southeast on HWY 11.  Take exit 329 for Lake Nosbonsing Road/HWY 654.  Turn left at Lake Nosbonsing Road, and drive until you find the Chalet.
