Meeting Place: 2024-07-13 at 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Location: Tim Hortons - 1150 Blair Rd · Gloucester, ON
How to find us: Meet inside the Tim Hortons
The trailhead parking lot (P20) does not offer a lot of parking spaces (~20-30). Therefore I suggest a group of us to carpool from the Gloucester Center/Blair station (~5-10 min drive). If you want to park directly at P20, you can. We will begin the hike at about 9:15 am.
Address of P20 parking lot:
2617 Anderson Rd, Orléans, ON K1A 0E7
(!) New rule in effect. I will be checking registrants name and profile photo to ensure they can be traced. A proper profile includes a recognizable first name and a clearly identifiable photo (without the need of magnification).
No pets are allowed on this walk. The total distance is just above 6 km on flat land. We will be hiking on the Trail 51 loop.

8. Description:
Mer Bleue has been designated an internationally significant wetland under the United Nations’ Ramsar Convention. The trail offers substantial help in identifying various species of plants and animals. These include the sundew, pitcher plant, rare orchids, the spotted turtle, and Fletcher’s dragonfly. The different loops may be completed in any combination, providing a walk as long as 12-km, or as short as 2.8-km. Each loop is numbered as a separate trail.
