Something New for 2016/17

I've just finished work on a new initiative for the coming winter - a loop trail exclusively for snowshoers, along with a section of snowshoe trail that provides an alternate route to a portion of the main Bruce Trail. My hope is that, by providing a trail just for snowshoers, we will see less snowshoe traffic on the ski trails.
The loop trail is 2 km in length, more or less around the perimeter of my property. It traverses a variety of landscapes, from conifer plantation to open grassland, regenerating field, wetland, and young forest. The snowshoe trail will be marked with orange surveyors' tape ribbons, while ski trails are marked with blue ribbons. Here are a couple of photos taken October 5.
