Walking Trail Development Plan

 

The initial stage for the Walking Trail involved the laying of stone and boardwalk along the Humber River in the buffer zone from the Reidville Municipal Park to the mouth of Trout Brook. A walking bridge was constructed over Trout Brook about 500 meters up the brook from the mouth to join another section of the trail. This section will extend from the Reidville Main Road to the Historic Tramway site when completed.

Future development being considered includes the following trails:

• from the Tramway site north to a parking lot directly off the Reidville Main Road across from Gerard Butlers property.

• from the Tramway site west along the Humber River to the Newfoundland Insectarium.

• from the Reidville municipal park east along the Humber River to the Cache Rapids.

• along Trout Brook from the Main Road to the Alexander Reid Memorial Playground.

• along Middle Brook from the Humber River to the Reidville Main Road

• along Rocky Brook from the Humber River to the Reidville Main Road

Fall 2007: Carl, Eric, Dave, Wyatt & Cliff blazed the initial trail. Reidville Main Road to Humber River along Trout Brook
	Karen Moss & Brian Laing cut the first section during the Fall 2007 and Winter 2008. Karen checked out the remains of the Tramway Train cars at the site.
Fall 2008: Bonnie Reid & Marge Curlew worked on the second phase. They laid stone and constructed boardwalk, natural steps and a bridge to access the trail from Reidville Main Road.
Winter 2009: Bonnie Reid & Marge Curlew worked on the Tramway sign when it got too much snow to work on the trail.
Fall 2009 & Winter 2010: Marjorie Curlew, Spencer Young, Cynthia Budgell, Bonnie Reid & Paula Stagg extended the trail to the Humber River by building boardwalk, two bridges and laying stone.
