Landowner Rights & Trail User Responsibilities

The Waskahegan Trail is a unique resource that exists only because of the generosity of landowners. Before you set foot on the trail:

  1. Know the landowner rights and the trail user responsibilities.
  2. Check the trail conditions

West Battle River Hike

by

Nine people came out on a fine summer day to hike the West Battle River eastward from Gwynne.

This section of the trail has just two hills to climb, one in and one out. We learned to just take them slow and steady, and you’ll appreciate them even more.

The fields are full of late summer flowers in purple and yellow.

Thanks to Lee for scouting and leading the hike, to trail maintenance for keeping the trail clear, and to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can see all the photos on Flickr.

Battle River West from Gwynne Hike

by

Last week nine people came out to hike the West Battle River section from the highway south of Gwynne to the ski hill. This section has some of the grandest views on the Waskahegan Trail.

This hike was postponed from earlier this summer due to the overwhelmingly soggy conditions. And that’s why no one was surprised by the huge population of mosquitoes. Mosquito netting worn over the hat is the way to dress these days.

Thanks to Helen for scouting and leading the hike and to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can see all the photos on Flickr.
