Description
Shining Rainbow Deer Sanctuary - 3 ½ km boardwalk and forest path – teardrop shaped hike. This is a very pretty hike which meanders through a thriving marsh ecosystem and cedar forest. You feel immersed in the marsh – without getting wet! We will stop at the birding platform to enjoy the soft colours of late Fall and early Winter, in its peace and solitude at this time of year. If you wish to remain here to take in the quiet of the marsh, the hike sweep will keep you company. The rest of the hiking group will continue our adventure through the woods, returning to join you at the birding platform. The hike includes some boardwalk walking which can be slippery in spots. The rest of the hike is on generally flat forest floor terrain.
NCC hike interpreter, Justin Johnson will join us for the hike - what a special treat. Thank you Justin! Nature Conservancy Canada protects and cares for this property. We are grateful for their stewardship.
