Outdoor Recreation Trails & Events Guide

This 68 page guide will help you explore our community in ways you never thought possible. It will broaden your knowledge of local opportunities to be active and how to safely experience the many outdoor adventures that await you. The maps will help you to explore our extensive dyke system too. The dykes were built to protect low-lying lands from flooding but also serve a recreational purpose. Ride horses, walk, and cycle amidst the beautiful natural scenery the dykes present. The lands around the dykes are also habitat to abundant wildlife and many species of birds, making the dyke system a favourite area for naturalists and bird-watchers.
