Join us for the First Annual McIntosh Run Mother's Day Stroll!
The McIntosh Run Watershed Association is hosting a walk and activities on the new McIntosh Run Community Trail on Mother's Day, Sunday May 9th, 3:30 - 5:00 pm.
We welcome families of all ages to join us for a walk / bike / stroller / wheelchair on the new trail. There will be a variety of fun activities and healthy snacks. We'll look for cool bugs in the river, listen to bird calls and learn about spring flowers. We'll even be taking pictures that you can download from our website after the event! Way better than sitting in a photo studio! So come join us for a fun event on the new Community Trail!

A bit of background...The McIntosh Run is a river that flows from Long Lake to Herring Cove. The new McIntosh Run Community Trail follows the river in Spryfield and was built in 2009 by the McIntosh Run Watershed Association with grants from HRM and the Provincial Government. The trail is flat with a packed crusher dust surface and it is stroller, bicycle and wheelchair-friendly. Leashed dogs are permitted! The first 1.2 km of trail was completed in 2009, with an additional 1.5 km to be completed in 2010.
See the trail map showing the completed 1st phase and the intended future phases of the trail system.
It was a most excellent day — see the photos.
