The Merrickville District Trails Society is a group of community volunteers who create, maintain and enhance a network of outdoor, all season trails in the Merrickville-Wolford district. We also organize a few activities throughout the year to promote the use of the trails, and to bring together people who enjoy trails and nature. We are a relaxed group. We welcome people to join us and enjoy the trails. Please check the link ” About Us” for information on who we are, what we do and how to participate.
The historic village of Merrickville- the ‘Jewel of the Rideau’- presents many opportunities for walking, both along its quiet streets and along the natural trails in the woods and countryside that surround the village, the Rideau River and the canal. To help you choose , locate and guide your walks, please consult the Merrickville Recreational Trails Brochure 2023
