Meeting Place: 2023-01-28 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Baxter Conservation Area
How to find us: Meet at the information board at the visiting centre
(!) 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 starting time is at 10:00 am.
Parking cost is $7 per vehicle. Tickets are purchased at the pay machine.
The total distance is 2 km on flat land.
As mask wearing has become optional even at indoors, I will not enforce the policy of having to bring a mask and social distancing. I will also not require vaccination to be a per-requisite. Having said that, I will ask the group to honor each individual's choice to wear a mask and/or maintain social distancing during this walk.
This trail is located at approximate 20 km south of Barrhaven off of Hwy 416. Alongside the Rideau River, this trail provides a good mix of woodland and water (snow) views.
We will leave right at 10 AM. Please arrive a few minutes early, as parking spots are limited. If you arrive a couple of minutes late you have a good chance to catch up with us.
The walk includes an introduction and welcome exercise, and then we will relax and enjoy our time in nature.
Notes:
1. Time is confirmed unless for inclement weather.
2. No pets for this walk.
3. Facility is not available at the trail head.
4. If photos of others are taken make sure that you acquired their permissions before posting them on this page.
