Description

Come out and explore Sydenham Bruce Trail Club’s newest side trail.  This is an easy snowshoe on flat terrain.  Great for beginners and families.  There is a beautiful, huge cottonwood tree on the property.  Fun fact - Cottonwoods are the fastest growing trees in North America and can grow as much as 6’ per year.  In spring the female cottonwood trees produce a cottony substance that helps with seed dispersal.  We will also visit a waterfall.

If you don’t have snowshoes, they can be borrowed for free from the Owen Sound library. If you are unable to register, please call or text Maureen at 647-918-4180.
