Rob’s Trail and Canadice
[slideshow id=1]
Our hike from Canadice up to Rob’s trail was a relaxing hike in preparation for the winter to come.

Rob’s Trail – December 9, 2012 at 2:00PM
This Sunday, the Springwater Trails hiking group is returning to a familiar hike on Rob’s Trail to Canadice Lake. This is the last day of the regular hunting season, so bright orange clothing is still appropriate. However, we think most hunters will avoid this trail.
Please note that trail work at Wheaton Hill has been postponed until Dec 30th.

After the hike, we will meet at the Hemlock Grill for an after hike social. Continue reading
