Regional
Trail Map
Discovery Routes is pleased
to announce that our new 2010/2011 Regional Trails
Map is now available!!! The new map
includes similar
descriptions of the recreational trails in the region as
provided by the previous map, but also includes new
hiking and bicycle trails to the ever growing trail system,
street names on the 'blown up' areas of the map, UTM
coordinates to each trailhead, and more!
We are working on
distributing the map, so stay tuned for information
on where they will be available. Members of
Discovery Routes receive a copy FREE, so if you are
a current member you should have received yours in the
mail! If
you would like to become a member or renew your current
membership, see our
membership page
for information on how.
We would like to say a big
*THANK YOU* to our
generous sponsors. Our goal is to
reproduce
the trail map every two years to keep the information as
up-to-date as possible. If you are interested in
sponsoring a future project, contact Discovery Routes for more
information.
Trail Guide to Healthy Living
Discovery Routes and regional trail
partners have assisted the Greater Nipissing Stewardship Council in
the creation of the "Trail Guide for Healthy
Living". The trail guide is a collaborative project between
trail groups, trail owners,
and trail managers to further expand the information available to
local trail enthusiasts. The guide features over 200km of trails
from Mashkinonje Provincial Park at the western arm of
Lake Nipissing to Mattawa in east and Magnetawan in the
south.
The guide
is available at the Tourism Information Centre in North
Bay, and at various
local outfitters. Alternatively, you can order them
online
through our website.
The cost of the guide is $15.
