Geocache Description:

The Dogwood Trail, designed in consultation with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for partially-sighted or visually-impaired individuals to share in the delights of nature that abounds in the Reserve. The Dogwood Trail is one of only a few such trails in North America.


A "multi-sensory" trail, suitable for anyone visiting the Reserve, it is a 490 m loop with hard, granular surface suitable as well for wheelchairs. It features a guide-rope, with panels in Braille and large-lettered text situated at strategic intervals along the route. Visitors are able to learn about the wildlife and natural history of the area using their senses of touch, smell and hearing. There is also signage that points out facts about uncommon species of plants and animals which can be found on the Reserve and in surrounding areas. Plantings around the trail, along with several species of dogwoods include Sugar Maple, the official tree of Canada, White Pine, the official tree of Ontario, as well as other species of trees and shrubs.
