Cross-Country Skiing – Copeland Forest Friends Association

Our winter season in Copeland Forest is off to a great start and the snow conditions are good for a winter outing in the forest. Please note that the parking lots on Ingram Road at Line 3 and Line 4 are NOT plowed. However, the Township of Oro-Medonte will continue to provide two lay-by parking areas: one on Ingram Road at Line 3 (marked as P1 on our trails map) and also a second one on Line 5, north of the train tracks (marked as P3 on our trails map). The trails map can be downloaded from our website www.copelandfriends.ca or purchased for a toonie at these locations: in Craighurst, the Esso, Loobie’s Restaurant and Woodside Pottery & Gallery. In Barrie, at Bikeland, Greenhawk and Sojourn. In Orillia at The Birdhouse Nature Company and the Couchiching Conservancy. CFFA members receive a free copy of the map with their membership.

Horseback riders were granted an extra gift this year, when we were able to ride in the Copeland Forest all through the fall and almost up until Christmas, due to the lack of snow (with the exception of a couple of snowfalls that melted quickly). Continue reading Gifts and Responsibilities →
