Trail

This extension begins at the Montague Train Station and goes
to Robertson's Road Part of a province-wide trail. The trail
winds through some very picturesque areas that can't often be
seen from the highway. The three metre wide trail follows the
path of old train tracks, and the stone dust surfacing makes
for excellent cycling and wheel-chair accessibility. |

This is a flat trail with a natural base and some wet areas.
It is part of a waterfowl sanctuary established by the late
Harvey Moore. This is an excellent spot for bird-watchers. Wildlife

the Northern Parula and Canada Warblers, Black Ducks, and Black-backed

various woodland types and open fields. Those of you who like
to fish can try your luck in one of the ponds at the sanctuary.
