Description
Please join me for an enjoyable fitness walk (which is my first of the season) on a relatively flat and easy trail around the lake in the Island Lake Conservation area. The trail has treed sections as well as boardwalks near the water, meadows and more. I hope that we will see some nice spring flowers along the way. We will keep some steady but still comfortable pace of approximately 3-3.5 km/h. We will have a short break on the picnic area after about 6 km. Please dress for the weather and bring 2 L of water and some snacks/light lunch. We will meet at the start of the trail (near the large trail map) at 4th Ave and Hwy 10 intersection. You can park anywhere at the Zehrs Orangeville, Winners or Mark's parking lot which is just across Hwy 10.
Update from April 20, 3 pm: There is a construction affecting a section of the loop hike we are planning to hike. This section (and a boradwalk are closed). The entrance to the trail from the 4th Ave and Hwy 10 is accessible for hikers. We can park as I suggested near Zehrs and meet as planned at the start of the trail near the map; however, we cannot hike in a loop but would have to retrace our route back.Please see the notice for your info: https://cvc.ca/park-advisories/?filter_park=island-lake
