Please see the trail map found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanatanordic.ca\/trails-map\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0or at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.owwt.ca\/\">www.owwt.ca<\/a>. Access points\u00a0are shown on the map. The OWWT is a multi-use pathway, welcoming fat bikers, walkers, dog walkers (on leash), snowshoers and skiers. Please do not walk or bike on the classic ski tracks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We ask that you please respect the trails which\u00a0means\u00a0no fat-biking, bicycling, or walking, and no snowshoeing on groomed ski trails. Dogs are not permitted on\u00a0any trails. Also, please respect other Wesley Clover Parks partners doing outdoor activities in the area so we can all enjoy Ottawa winters.<\/p>\n<p>We share the\u00a0Parks with the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/childnature.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forest and Nature School<\/a>, which operates year-round and is located north of the campground area. Classes are run largely outdoors, so please\u00a0help the school maintain\u00a0its privacy and security\u00a0 by staying clear of their access road, structures (including their porta-potty), and activities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kanatanordic.ca\/trails\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to read full trail etiquette information.<\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kanatanordic.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset.jpg\" rel=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7049 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kanatanordic.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-e1522107487277.jpg\" alt=\"sunset\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trail Conditions \u2013 FEB 27 2024 \u2013 TRAILS CLOSED FEB 27, 2024:\u00a0 Kanata Nordic Trails systems are closed due to warm weather and significant deterioration.\u00a0 We will assess whenever we have colder temperatures and some significant snowfall.
