Good Trail News

We’ve received permission to develop trails in Varna! Bluewater’s Municipal Council has unanimously agreed to grant the Trail Association permission to develop two walk-ing trails at the Stanley Complex in Varna . They also ap-proved a grant of $2000 to the Trail Association. These year-round trails have tremendous potential for multiple uses such as cross country skiing and perhaps someday even mountain biking and accessible trails for the disabled. It is anticipated that some signage will be in place and that they will be open for use by July 1.

Last fall, trail development volunteers did some rough cuts of potential routes and  over the summer they will be installing signage and clearing overgrown sections. As funds permit, new bridges, boardwalks and other features will be installed.

The upper trail will be called the ‘Taylor  Trail’ to honour  Mark and Bill Taylor who spent so much time and effort getting the Varna Trails started. The  longer, more challenging trail that goes to the river will  be called ‘Mavis’ Trail’, to honour the late Mavis Govier, our staunchest supporter in Varna.
