Thirty people showed up last Saturday afternoon to hike the des Pommiers – Winnisic Trail.
Led and interpreted by Doug Taylor, who organized the trail building over three years, Doug was able to describe the process of the trail’s development, of bridge building and the hard work of carrying the materials onto the trail.
The hike started at the Route 105 trailhead, just north of Pine Road and followed the trail north through forest, field, over bridges, and wooden walkways, followed by a fox, down Winnisic road and finally returning along the railway and the beautiful Gatineau River.
Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who contributed over 450 hours of labourbuilding the trail and to the hikers for joining us on a sunny afternoon in June. Does it get much better?

Come and discover Chelsea’s newest municipal hiking trail on. Constructed by Chelsea Trails volunteers with support from the Municipality, the Des Pommiers-Winnisic trail will take approximately 2 hours to explore.
We will meet at the intersection of Pine Road and Route 105. Parking on Pine Road is limited so car pooling is recommended. Proper hiking footwear is recommended, with rubber boots if weather is wet.

Anyone who knows Alain Piché knows he is passionate about the Winter Trail on the railway corridor and the Gatineau River. He works hard for the things he loves, and this year, his unstoppable volunteer efforts won him the 2015 Volunteer of the Year award. Alain is on the board of Sentiers Chelsea Trails and Friends of the Gatineau River.
It was one of seven awards handed out at this year’s annual Chelsea Volunteer Acknowledgement Gala held at the Meredith Centre on April 24. The mayor, councillors, municipal recreation officials, gathered with other community organizations and residents to honour the numerous volunteer hours invested in our municipality each year.
“Over the last 10 years, the Community Winter Trail project along the railway corridor has connected neighbours and made many friends,″ remarked Alain. ″We are now aiming to expand the concept to create a four-season linear park that will provide Chelsea a green, multi-functional trail along this precious corridor of municipal property.”
