The Waskahegan Trail Association leads Sunday hikes several times each month. When there is sufficient snow, a portion of the hiking group will cross country ski or snowshoe as an alternative to the hike. An annual general meeting is held in the Spring and a social in the fall.
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 and agreeable to our Rules, FAQs and Etiquette and who sign our waivers. Please review our Sunday Hike Checklist prior to attending. The association recommends sturdy footwear for hikes, particularly hikes out of the city. Plan to bring a lunch, adquate fluids, snacks and dress for the conditions. Please note that participation in a hike is at the sole discretion of the Hike Leader.

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 Member, and shared their concerns about the development, care, and future of the trail.

Interested in other walking activities? Some Waskahegan members are also Meetup.com members; check out their mid-week walks and hikes here.  

Our Meeting Locations

We use central meeting locations for all of hikes.  The locations have been selected to be near public transit, have plenty of parking (and permission from the landowner to park there) and are secure.  Please plan to car pool as it saves gas, reduces our carbon foot print, allows individuals to get to know each other before and after the hike. As well, we often need to park on rural roads, the fewer the cars the less impact we have on our rural communities.

The following is a list of our current meeting locations.  You can either click on the map to the right or on the links below to get a detail description of each meeting location.  See you at the next hike!
