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.

About 150 people showed up this year for the Winter Trail Celebration at Larrimac and along the tracks. The scavenger hunt was a huge success, getting many skiers out on the tracks. But more than that, it was a spectacular day, and everybody wanted to be outside! Up at the Larrimac Golf Course, XC Ottawa ran a technique sessions and Collines en Forme led their snowshoe challenge. Also at Larrimac, the Chelsea Nordiq Jackrabbits and Bunnies helped themselves to hot chocolate and yummy snacks, thanks to Les Fougeres. Up at the Chelsea Trails info booth, various prizes were raffled for new memberships and donations towards the grooming of the trail. A special thank you to this year’s trail sponsors, Greg Christie’s, Physiosport Chelsea and le Nordiq Spa.

One of Chelsea Trails’ primary objectives is to connect neighborhoods with trails so that community members can walk rather than drive to neighbours and points of interest. Recently, community members interested in re-establishing the historic trail connection from Adamson road to Ramsay road approached Chelsea Trails. Although this trail had been in place for decades, it had fallen out of use, and revitalizing it was a key achievement for Chelsea Trails this past year. (more…)
