Event Details:
BROKENHEAD WETLANDS INTERPRETATIVE TRAIL
DESCRIPTION: The Brokenhead Wetland is a unique and fascinating landscape, on the delta where the Red River empties into Lake Winnipeg. After a short work through a dark, cedar forest, the path opens up onto a boardwalk that runs between the forest and the marsh. Rose, who knows this terrain well, will point out the many features of the marsh, including a wide variety of crocuses and carnivorous plants that grow along the boardwalk.
This walk is just over 2 km in each direction, all on flat terrain. We will stop in a shaded spot at the turn-around point for lunch and socializing.
MEETING INFO: We will be meeting at the Tim Hortons at 25 Donwood Dr , in the shopping plaza that is just south of the Henderson Safeway, near Chief Peguis Trail. We will meet beginning at 10:45, with a planned departure of 11am.
BUS: The F8 runs along Henderson in both directions and will get you close to the Tim Horton's.
CARPOOLING: We will be carpooling from the Tim Horton's to the trailhead. This is roughly a 45 minute drive from the Tim Horton's. All drivers are greatly appreciated.
* *We can only proceed if we have enough vehicles**
For those needing a drive, please bring at least $5 to pay your driver.
MEET AT TRAIL-HEAD: If you wish to meet the group at the trail-head, we should all be congregating around 11:45am. It is an easy to miss turn off HWY 59, it would be useful to have a navigator.
