The entire community is welcome to participate in an inaugural walk on the Dairy Wagon Trail!
At 1 p.m. Saturday, May 29, you’re invited to join walkers, cyclists and horseback riders on a walk past Killarney Lake and onto the newly opened Dairy Wagon Trail. The trail has recently been widened to accommodate cyclists and horses in addition to walkers, and it winds upward from the boardwalk at Killarney Lake to the Smith Road neighborhood. This portion of the Killarney Lake trail was originally built and travelled primarily by horse, or by horse and wagon back in Bowen’s early days.
The walk commences at the equestrian ring near the site of the old dairy at the Meadows in Crippen Park at 1 p.m. Members of the Greenways Committee and Bowen Island Horse Owners and Riders Association (BIHORA) will share the history of the trail, and also give tips for walking, cycling, and driving around horses.
Information tables will be set up with pictures of the trail in use throughout its history, as well as a table where you can register for this year’s Adventure Challenge ~ a guided trail exploration that will take you to 7 different locations hidden on trails across the island over the course of a week.
Bring your friends and families ~ and please keep your dogs on leash. This event is free and open to the entire community.
