Trail Conditions

spring 2013

First robin just sighted in the Inn’s courtyard waterfall garden. Reportedly stout and strutting…a rust-red breasted harbinger of a long-long-awaited spring. Forest trails tease us…no longer ski-able, barely hike-able. But that won’t last long.  Puffy boots are giving way to sneakers, and nature is pulsing with budding new beginnings. City trails however, like the new Hub Trail, are ready for walkers and cyclists.

 

Hub Trail 

The John Rowswell Hub Trail, a 25-kilometre, non-motorized recreational system, circles the core of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The Hub is easily accessed from Algoma’s Water Tower Inn & Suites. The Hub Trail, consisting of on-and-off-road sections, is restricted to walking, and self-propelled activities such as cycling; it is wheel-chair friendly. It connects historical, cultural and natural points in Sault Ste. Marie, fosters human-powered activity, and engages the user with its mix of urban areas, waterfront, city amenities and attractions, and natural areas and vista.  Trail maps are available.
