We carpool to the starting point on Burgess Side Road, just north side of Concession 24.  This snowshoe follows an access road and cart track to farm property, crossing the field to enter the forest along a rocky trail leading to scenic lookouts over the Slough of Despond.  From there we continue on the Slough of Despond Side Trail to where it meets the President’s Path.  After completing the loop with the President’s Path, we retrace our steps on the Slough if Despond Side Trail to the cars.  Map 34.  For more information or if you are unable to register, please call or text the hike leader at 647-918-4180.
