Some delightful hiking opportunities await you in South River! Trails abound with possibilities, whether you like them flat and well-marked, or hilly rugged and wild! The Forgotten Trails, a project of our Chamber of Commerce, offers some trails which offer a good look at the flora and fauna of the South River area. The Tower Trail, to the East, goes up to the top of a steep hill and the view from the top is tremendous, covering an entire valley of trees, beaver ponds and not a road or hydro pole in sight! The view is well worth the climb, and the top is a wonderful picnic spot! We have so many trails, just like that. We |

have trails that lead to a private lake, with a canopy of pine trees, and a carpet of soft needles. We have trails that lead around in a big circle and come back to where they started. We have trails that lead around active beaver dams, rivers, creeks and swamps. We have trails that follow the high and dry ridges of a glacial esker. So many possibilities. Let your curiosity out to play. So many of our trails change completely over the course of a season.Even in the dead of winter, our trails are alive. We see tracks of birds and bunnies, and even changes in the snow colour. During the sunny days of late January and February, well before the sap runs, we see the amusing antics of the 'snow fleas'. "Just another day in paradise!" It seems that the more slowly you hike, the more you will see. We often like to amble along, taking in all the small plants and creatures. From the first pussy willows and the first violets in the spring all the way through to the last mushrooms in the fall, the forest is a living breathing place of abundance and beauty! Come, let us share the beauty of our paradise with you and yours. |
