Waskahegan Trail Association Sunday Hikes

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:48:33 GMT

The Waskahegan Trail Association leads Sunday hikes several times each month. When there is sufficient snow, the hikes become cross country ski outings. An annual general meeting and two film nights are held each year. Volunteer work parties go out from May till October to maintain the trail. Members receive information on these activities through our newsletter. Announcements are also made in the local media.

All events are open to anyone interested in attending. Those participating in scheduled hikes are asked to sign a waiver of liability. Although nonmembers may use the trail, the Association would feel safer if hikers became members, and shared its concerns about the development, care, and future of the trail.
