More than 
100 residents packed into the Cascades Club last night to hear about the opportunities and benefits of turning Chelsea’s railway corridor into a year round, multi-purpose trail. The meeting was organized by Chelsea Rails 2 Trails, a newly formed group seeking to provide information and mobilize support for the rails to trails project under consideration by the Municipality. If you missed last night’s meeting, you can take a look at the presentation.

We need you! Step up to support the railway winter trail
For the last 7 years, Chelsea residents have enjoyed 14 kilometers of groomed passage on a multiple purpose winter trail, following the Gatineau River, but it’s not a sure thing. The Municipality contributes to the maintenance and tracking cost but we need contributions from people who love the trail if we want to keep it open, year after year. To help secure the future of the winter trail project along the Chelsea railway right of way, Sentiers Chelsea Trails is launching the Chelsea Community Trail Fund 2013-14 to raise money for trail maintenance. All contributions will go directly to the cost of trail maintenance and operation.
The geography of Chelsea, a long and narrow municipality stretching over 23 km north to south, bordered by the Gatineau River and the Gatineau Hills, makes the Chelsea railway right of way an important north-south trail joining the neighbourhoods of Chelsea Village, Tenaga, Gleneagle, Kirk’s Ferry, Larrimac, Burnett, Cascades and Farm Point. The trail offers some of the best views of the beautiful Gatineau River and creates the basis for a seasonal, north-south linear park for Chelsea residents.
The trail, during favourable snow conditions, is tracked to provide a surface for cross-country skiing (classic and skate), snowshoeing, walking, running and sledding. Motorized vehicles are prohibited. The Chelsea Community Trail is easily accessible and flat, allowing for residents of all ages and abilities to get out and engage in a variety of fun, safe and healthy winter activities.
