Trail Association of the North Whiteshell
The Trail Association of the North Whiteshell started up again in February with a small group of directors and much help and guidance from Trails Manitoba and TCT .
The Trail traverses the Alf Hole Goose Sanctuary near the town of Rennie , Manitoba , via Brereton Lake , Jessica Lake , Inverness Falls , Rice Lake , Cabin Lake , Red Rock Lake , White Lake , Betula Lake , through Natalie , Eleanor , Dorothy ( Otter Falls ) and Nutimik Lakes on the Winnipeg River terminating at the Seven Sisters Falls Generating Station .
During the season both cottagers and visitors to the park enjoyed the trail system throughout the North Whiteshell . Many people took part in the Great Trail Treasure Hunt , which featured a " cache " where hikers could register to win great prizes for finding the various locations .
In the fall we undertook the re-branding of all of the signs along the trail to The Great Trail . So far over half of the trail has been resigned , and the remainder are scheduled to be done in the Spring / Summer of 2020 . Included in this re-branding is updating the signage to make it more user friendly .
2019 also included the exciting news of our new bridge at Cabin Lake . This was one of two bridges reclaimed from King ' s Park in Winnipeg . The installation started in the fall and was finished in the spring of 2020 . This brings a beautiful addition to that section of the trail and will surly be tagged in many pictures on Instagram # trailnw .
We are always looking for volunteers and members for the association , so if the North Whiteshell is your area , or you just like the outdoors and hiking please drop us a line , we would love to connect .
