Events 2012

Sunday Rambles:

Our signature program of weekly outings on Haliburton rail trails in the quiet months of April and May, Sunday Rambles offer a bit of History, a bit of Nature - and always a social lunch Aprés. 

Ramble out and back at your own pace. A supportive atmosphere welcomes all abilities. A wonderful opportunity for the generations to meet. 

Note: ATVs are allowed June 1 to November 30 on the HCRT, the Haliburton County Rail Trail. You may choose to walk or cycle the trail during these months at your own risk.

FoRT's "Rambles 2011 Map" is an excellent reference to illustrate HCRT and I,B&O access points, but Friends of the Rail Trail does not own or manage these trails and assumes no liability:

Get together with Friends throughout 2012...

FoRT organizes a variety of activities for your enjoyment of the area's history, nature and greenspace. Call Pamela at (705) 457-4767 about these, and more to come.

Sunday June 4 • Members Jazz Evening in the Log House at Wildwood Farm - This exclusive annual event attracts more interest than the four walls can accommodate. Don't be disappointed. It's not too early to reserve for June 2012. This thank you to our loyal membership offers good food, good company and live jazz in the ambiance of an 1840's hand-hewn log house.

Round out the season with HCRT End to End This is the best way to fully experience the diversity of this beautiful and varied natural corridor, planned for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Ideas are welcome to make this a destination event. We'd like to invite all the Hike Ontario long distance trail clubs, and offer a variety of accommodation packages.
