Speed River Trail Section 1

Speed River Trail Section 1

Wednesday February 12, 2025,

Level 2,

Moderate pace

7 kms, approximately 2 hours. 

Depart 9:30 am from the small parking lot near the old Humane Society. 

To reach the parking area, turn into the first entrance (Truck Entrance) west of the Hanlon Parkway (hwy 6), on the south side of Wellington Road.  To carpool because of limited parking, meet at the Covered Bridge at 9:15 am. 

The trail skirts the Speed River where we will see water-loving birds and passes through a dense cedar forest.  It forms a loop with the John Wood side trails 1 and 2. 

Please bring icers; poles will be useful on the bridges.  

Let the hike leader know if you are going directly to the trailhead.
