OTTAWA WEST WINTER TRAILS
We have expanded the free public Ottawa West Winter Trail (OWWT) (formerly known as the Watts Creek trail) to include: some loops off the “Rifle Rd spur”, the DND Loop, and most significantly, Watts Creek pathway east to Carling Ave. The section west to March Rd will be groomed less frequently this winter due to an issue with one of the bridges south of 19th Tee. Please see the trail map found here or at www.owwt.ca. Access points are 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.
Please respect the trails which means no fat-biking, bicycling, or walking, and no snowshoeing on groomed ski trails. Dogs are not permitted on any trails. Also, please respect other Wesley Clover Parks partners doing outdoor activities in the area so we can all enjoy Ottawa winters.
We share the Parks with the Forest and Nature School, which operates year-round and is located north of the campground area. Classes are run largely outdoors, so please help the school maintain its privacy and security by staying clear of their access road, structures (including their porta-potty), and activities.
