Bay offers the visitor a selection of trails with interesting environmental
features:
Venture
into our fields and forests to the osprey nest, beaver dam and pond
alive with natures creatures. Signs and printed information
guide you to the Lookout with its panoramic view of the 1000 Islands
or through the mature forests and along the banks of Halstead Creek.
Spend an hour or all day walking our trails.
Stroll the easy access Garden Trail through a section of forest and
alongside Halstead Creek. Among the many gardens planted there by
local groups and individuals are a fern glen, an over-wintering
garden for birds, a butterfly garden, a heritage garden, an ice
storm garden and perennial gardens.
The
Look-out Trail for sure-footed walkers leads past a rare pitch pine
tree and eventually to the Look-out with its panoramic view of the
1000 islands. This trail passes through a micro forest which has
tree species from both northern and southern forests. Growing side
by side are the southern shagbark hickory and the northern hemlock.
There is an abundance of birds and wildflowers throughout the seasons.
This Trail includes the Monitoring Station which collects data for
the world-wide Smithsonian Institute forest monitoring program.
Follow
the 5km Donevan Trail, our newest trail opened in recognition of
Charlie and Kay Donevan's many contributions to the development
of the property. Parts of this trail are of medium difficulty. You
should have good footwear...not sandals.
