The trail system in Timmins offers close access for walking, running, cycling, snowshoeing, while providing a safe environment away from vehicle traffic. Timmins trails allow people to take in the beauty of the landscape and nature which is calming and therapeutic whether spending time alone or in the company of pets, family and/or friends. ~SS
The Problem
The Solution
The extensive four-season trail system brings us daily joy when walking our dog, riding our mountain bikes, or when running with friends. I’ve noticed a significant user increase in the last few years riding/walking/ enjoying all of the extensive conservation area. Further, the dedicated year-round maintenance of the trails ensures safe use for all users. I can’t thank the MRCA enough for all the work done in the past, present and future. The conservation area is part of our daily life and brings much happiness regardless of the weather. ~LW
