The Macnamara Nature Trail is located in the Nopiming Game Sanctuary in Arnprior. This interpretive trail is a project of the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club and follows 19 numbered stops highlighting the natural history of each location. They are close to the trail and should be fairly easy to find.
This trail is named after Charles Macnamara (1881-1944), a local naturalist and photographer who successfully lobbied the provincial government in 1920 to have this area designated a Crown Game Preserve. As trail brochures are not always available at the trailhead, you are invited to download a booklet describing each of the 19 trail stops to take along at http://mfnc.ca/macnamaratrail/ The Macnamara Trail was featured in the spring 2016 edition of Ottawa Outdoors magazine. A copy of that article is available for viewing at http://mfnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Ottawa-Outdoors-Spring-2016.pdf Walkers and cross-country skiers are welcome to enjoy the trails but note that the trails are on land owned by Nylene Canada. Bicycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and dogs are not allowed on the trails. Parking is available at the trailhead. Along with the natural beauty, there may be poison ivy in some areas. Be prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear as well as some bug repellant during the late spring and summer. Above all, enjoy your time outdoors!
