A n n ua l Report 2022 Y ear in Review
Member Trail Group Updates Rossburn Subdivision Trail Association
RSTA have been busy maintaining and adding amenities to the trail in 2022 . Several benches were added , discovery panels replaced and in Erickson a resting stop and outlook was built on an old water tower foundation . This is still work in progress . Interpretive signs telling the history of the area and the trail will be added at a later date . The biggest achievement this year was the completion of the Flying Eagle Link Trail in late fall . The trail runs from Rossburn , where an opening ceremony was held , about 8 km along the main Rossburn Subdivision Trail and then turns off to join the Riding Mountain National Park trail system about 22 km later . It runs in good part on less travelled back country
gravel roads , but also includes close to 400 m of board walk . Interpretive signs along the trail are telling the stories of settlers and indigenous people alike . RSTA is immensely thankful for the support of Trails Manitoba , Trans Canada Trail , the Province of Manitoba , Fusion Credit Union and Twin Valley Coop for their financial contribution . Scott and his crew from Reynolds Re / New went over and above to build boardwalk and trailhead kiosks being creative and flexible .

Two youths were employed for the bulk of the season , who worked alongside and at direction of a group of volunteers . The Stanley Community Pathway , located in the Municipality of Stanley , and linking the communities of Winkler and Morden , is a significant trail development project , and is actively in process .
